The fact that this took 6 years to land stood out to me.

I'm not entirely surprised, and I'm glad the Go team is carefully considering their interfaces before launching. But 6 years seems like a lot of work to land a JSON API.

Sometimes I wonder about Go's velocity - generics (something that I still haven't used beyond the tutorials) took an age as well

JSON processing, quite markedly, is renown in Go for being slow, so I don't really understand why it took so long
