Golang News, Tutorials, Go Libraries and Golang Jobs
You’ve likely heard and read dozens of stories about generics in Go about ordinary slices and maps but haven’t yet thought about a fun way to apply this feature. Let’s implement the peer of pandas.read_html, which maps HTML tables into slices of structs! If it’s achievable even with Rust, why shouldn’t it be with Go?! This essay will show […]
Generics, released with Golang 1.18, allow writing reusable functions and structures “templates” with types factored out. Without new generics support, users need to implement interface methods, e.g., sort, to use type agnostic libraries. In this article, the author looks at Golang generics through an example transition on a Go data structure library and points out the differences and […]
Improve speed with generics in Golang The author of this article is not going to try to teach you generics in this story, but instead assume you know about generics, parameterized types, or template-based Golang programming already. This shows the basics of Golang Generics. Type parameters are constrained by interfaces. That means you can demand […]
Golang 1.18 has been out for a while now. Are you using Generics? At first, the author was delighted and started gradually switching from map and filter-like statements to github.com/samber/lo, and he created an internal slice package to add some more variants. However, somewhere in his heart, he felt frustration building up. I felt like I was […]
