Don't get me wrong, I perfectly understand what interface{} is and why someone is tempted to use it. It just kills the type checking and converts your golang code to a compiled python, without all those nice static analysis things. Yes, API would be larger, but it would be compile time type-checked and you wouldn't depend on things like "well, it will most probably crash very early enough".
