x/website: Effective Go needs to have a preamble re: generics #49937

Closed griesemer closed 2 years ago

griesemer commented 2 years ago

Effective Go needs to be updated with a preamble/disclaimer as it was not written with generics in mind.

Effective Go is an excellent resource and should be kept current.
