And should be out in 1.17 (this Autumn).

Congratulations to all those who made it happen,
and to the Go team for making sure that the design was right before it
was accepted.

Will there be a blog post about this? I really want to know more!

I imagine that the people who usually write the blogs are busy getting 1.16 out the door.

But there are a few blog posts:
https://blog.golang.org/why-generics

https://blog.golang.org/generics-proposal

https://blog.golang.org/generics-next-step

And there are talks by ILT and Robert Griesemer at Gophercon 2019 and 2020

Thanks!

But, a clarification: we are targeting the 1.18 release for generics,
not the 1.17 release. There is a lot of work to do.

All much appreciated!

I have been so very much looking forward to Go 2.0 and generics. Getting it in 1.18 is the icing on the cake. I seriously did not think you could do it considering that everyone was pulling you in different directions. Well Done! Defining the job is 90% of the project. The coding and testing before you ship will likely be the other 90%. I am looking forward to testing the new product! Thanks.

I really don't know why you have been constantly negative.

It seems like you genuinely care about the language and what it brought to you, and worried of what might the future bring to us. That's understandable. But it doesn't give you the right to insult the community this way.

Not a community, but a particular (shit) show.
