Hello, gophers! I have attempted to use the copy function for slices and found it’s API a bit strange. Suppose I have two slices: one of size 0 and capacity 10, the other of size 10 and capacity 10. When I copy the second one into the first one nothing happens, because the length of the first size is 0, although it could hold the elements just fine.
So, I am wondering why isn’t copying limited by the capacity of the destination slice instead? It doesn’t look natural for me to have to pad the slice with the default values of the type, as they will be overwritten by the copy anyway.
