Runtime instantiation

So far .NET and Go are neck and neck, but will this continue? This section covers runtime instantiation — the ability to instantiate new types using generics at runtime. Think of a generic like a template — no, not the C++ kind of template; more like a cookie cutter. Can we still stamp out new cookies at runtime using Java, .NET, and Go?

• Java: can a new ArrayList<T> be instantiated at runtime?
• .NET: or in the case of .NET, a List<T>?
• Golang: and does List<T> even exist at runtime in Go?
