Tutorial: Getting started with generics - The Go Programming Language – Okay @xuu@txt.sour.is I quite like Go’s generics now 🤣 After going through this myself I like the semantics and the syntax. I’m glad they did a lot of work on this to keep it simple to both understand and use (just like the rest of Go) 👌
