I do not have an example implemented with generics, but I do have examples that could use them. My renderview - https://github.com/TheGrum/renderview ; in particular this file: https://github.com/TheGrum/renderview/blob/master/renderparameter.go and my still unpublished audio library, visible in pre-release form in the processor.go file in https://github.com/TheGrum/rosarygen could both benefit from generics. Both have the pattern of having a struct that has multiple elements and a type flag, where only one of the elements will actually have a value at a time (though the struct that has that pattern in processor is not yet present in the rosarygen code).
They certainly work, but they abandon compile-time type guarantees, dropping down to runtime type-casting. They are also brittle to extension. I can extend them, but it means adding cases to type-switches in certain bits of code. Someone using them as libraries could not do so very easily, or possibly at all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
