<h3 id="generics">Generics</h3>
<p>
Go 1.18 includes an implementation of generics as described
by <a href="https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/refs/heads/master/design/43651-type-parameters.md">the
proposal</a>.
</p>
<p>

<ul>
<li><!-- issue 47631 -->

or methods. We hope to provide support for this feature in Go 1.19.
</li>
</ul>
