As you know from when Go was first broadcast to the world, they hadn't figured out how to make generics fit[1]. It is not like they weren't trying. Ian Lance Taylor is regarded for beginning work on generics before anyone outside of Google had even heard of Go. "In short: not yet"
What was surprising is that after Go was released as an open source project, nobody across the whole wide world ever came up with a workable solution. You can sense the optimism in that original announcement that later turned to "Go might never get generics" dispair. As you'll recall, it finally took convincing Philip Wadler (of Haskell and Java generics fame) to help. Without that lucky break, which almost certainly never would have happened if Go was still some basement project used by nobody, Go probably still wouldn't have generics.
