I predict that there will be some kind of support for generics... eventually. Not explicitly in the language itself, but some added 'go generate' style tooling support. You will be able to define containers and such to use the empty interface, and add in some comments saying you want a version for strings, or floats. And the generate step will run to create the type-specific versions, which will then be compiled as usual.

There's definitely work to be done in the details.

This is my general read on where I think the community and developers are going... that's all.
