I'm the author of esbuild. I hadn't written Go before I started esbuild and I thought I would miss generics more, but I didn't. There is literally only one situation in the whole esbuild code base where I've found myself wishing for generics: sorting an array. The workaround is easy and involves implementing an interface with three methods, each of which is typically a single line: https://pkg.go.dev/sort#Interface. And I only needed a few of these interfaces for a few different types. That wasn't nearly enough of a reason to not use Go, especially considering the other advantages.
