Hi! First, thanks to the Go team for the hard work and the list populace for an extremely low-noise list. Very much appreciated.
In the recent draft, struct methods with type parameters are explicitly excluded with a note that they might be added later. I think I roughly understand the added complexity of having basically 2D type parameters (from the struct type itself and the mehtod). However, and I'm really wondering why nobody brought this up, I think this is a language element that would be quite akward to add later. Not because syntax would have to change in incompatible ways, but because idiomatic Go will be forced to steer towards global functions for this use case. Minimal example: https://go2goplay.golang.org/p/CxK7EuhW_fF Please note that the struct type in this example does not even use type parameters. With the method receiver really being just a 0th argument to a method, I don't see why having type params on methods would be such a big challenge.
