  There used to be a troll repo on Facebook's GitHub org about Go generics, which is now archived, so ... maybe?

  The Go programming language

  

  * Libraries in general being “Just another git repo”, many haven’t been updated to use Go modules. Because Go doesn’t have a good central repository for go libraries, I don’t have good numbers on this.

  A hands-on approach to getting started with Go generics.

  You don't actually have to instantiate the type for a receiver function (i.e., method). There's too much missing from your code for me to understand which direction you're going but you'll likely have to use a constraint for structs which is explained here: https://github.com/akutz/go-generics-the-hard-way/blob/main/...
