Go 1.18 finally supports generics. Generics are extremely useful and make go viable for contests. Go already does things very well — relatively fast, extremely quick compile times, modern syntax, but it's lack of generics makes writing complicated data structures annoying.

Please upgrade to 1.18! This is a big one!

64kb is great, but often isn't enough for libraries with complex data structures.

This isn't a huge issue in Java or C++ which have phenomenal standard libs, but much more of an issue in things like Rust, Go, or JS which really rely on importing libraries from a package manager.

A bump to 128kb or 256kb would be awesome.

GraalVM offers substantial performance benefits over HotSpot for the Java developers out there.

Can we get GraalVM CE as an option?
