Hello gophers,
I have almost no experience on language definitions/proposals and on generics. But an idea came to my mind and I wanted to share it. It is an idea, not a proposal, I haven't worked on detailing/elaboration, etc. As stated on my gist, I got the text and examples from Faiface gist and adapted to my idea. No plagiarism intent, just to quickly have something readable by people. But, if people finds the copy/edit method I used is offensive, just point this and I may delete the gist. So, here is the gist: https://gist.github.com/luisfurquim/548c37870f7ed5a57a1f91a696cfc62f Best regards, Luis Otavio Em quinta-feira, 30 de maio de 2019 13:29:03 UTC-3, Michal Strba escreveu: > > Hi Gophers! :) > > I've been thinking about generics in Go 2 ever since the original > contracts proposal and few days ago, ideas finally clicked.
