I'm guessing something is wrong with my angle > FWIW I've been using `*new(E)` throughout, on the understanding that sooner or later there will be a proposal implemented that makes that simpler, and when that does happen, it'll be trivial to do `gofmt -w -r '*new(x) -> zero` (for whatever spelling of "zero" is chosen), leaving the code exactly as you'd have wanted to have written it in the first place with no need for manual tidy-ups. Yes, it's crude for the time being, but at least it's unambiguous. -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "golang-nuts" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to golang-nuts+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/golang-nuts/CAP1AJ8fqT0yxd2g8gctPA%2B6Ei-fKfFQCdDM4iBMtfX%2BS-r9qgg%40mail.gmail.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/golang-nuts/CAP1AJ8fqT0yxd2g8gctPA%2B6Ei-fKfFQCdDM4iBMtfX%2BS-r9qgg%40mail.gmail.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
