A Reddit thread. First post in the thread reads: can you please explain this go syntax to me? type ImmutableTreeList<ElementT> struct { I thought go doesn't have generics. Reply: It doesn't. That's just a "template" file, which I use search and replace in order to generate the three monomorphized go files. If you look closely, those aren't angle brackets, they're characters from the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which are allowed in Go identifiers. From Go's perspective, that's just one long identifier. Final message, quoting the one above: they're characters from the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block Oh my god
