Explore the concept of Go generics, understanding their purpose in simplifying code that handles multiple data types. Learn how generics differ from empty interfaces and how they can reduce repetitive coding when working with slices of various data types. This lesson helps you grasp when and why to use generics in your Go programs for cleaner and more maintainable code.
We'll cover the following...
This lesson discusses Go generics, which is a forthcoming Go feature. As of the publication of this course, generics and Go are under discussion by the Go community. However, one way or another, it is good to know how generics work, its philosophy, and what the generics discussions are about.
Note: Go generics has been one of the most requested additions to the Go programming language.
The main idea behind generics in Go, as well as any other programming language that supports generics, is not having to write special code for ...
