Note added January 2022: This blog post was written in 2019 and 
does not describe the version of generics that was finally adopted. 
For updated information please see [the language spec](https://go.dev/ref/spec) and
 [the generics design document] (https://go.dev/design/43651-type-parameters).

The design document link is broken, giving the following error

NOT_FOUND: Requested entity was not found

The language spec link is not helpful regarding generics. It has only one instance of the word generics, and this does not describe the implementation at all, only to point to old docs of the pre-generics Go:

"This is the reference manual for the Go programming language. The pre-Go1.18 version, without generics, can be found here."

These links should be updated to point to useful information about the present form of the generics implementation.
