Under "No parameterized methods"
<https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/refs/heads/master/design/go2draft-type-parameters.md#no-parameterized-methods>,
the design document states:
In Go, one of the main roles of methods is to permit types to implement
> interfaces. It is not clear whether it is reasonably possible to permit
> parameterized methods to implement interfaces.
[...]
Or, we could decide that parameterized methods do not, in fact, implement
> interfaces, but then it's much less clear why we need methods at all.

Parameterized methods that do not implement interfaces are very useful for
expressibility, especially when it comes to fluent interfaces. The
following is one example:
type Array(type T) []T
func (a Array(A)) Map(type B)(fn func(A) B) Array(B) {
b := make([]B, len(a))
for i := range a {
b[i] = fn(a[i])
}
return b
}
func F() int {
return Array(int){...}.
Map(func(v int) int { return v*v }).
Filter(func(v int) bool { return v%2 == 0 }).
Sum(func(a, b int) int { return a+b })
}
