Yes, I've already been thinking about constraining type parameters to an interface. Internally, the type-checker considers type parameters to have underlying type interface {}. A constraint on a type parameter should be as straightforw

The Fo compiler parses and type-checks Fo source code and then generates and outputs Go code. It generates a unique concrete type for each usage of a generic type. You can look at the examples directory of the repo to see what this output l

Parameterized packages are interesting but they come with their own problems. It can get tedious if I want to use, e.g., a stack with multiple different types. They also lose some of the flexibility that comes with scoping type parameters t

Wow! I think it's worth emphasizing that in the given example, the time taken to install all dependencies went from 8m10s to 7.5s. Seems like a huge productivity boon for any teams working with Node.

There is a small discrepancy in the article: > Go supports the := assignment operator, which works like this ... All this does is look at the return type of bar(), and set the type of foo to that. This is a misunderstanding of the := ope

If anyone is "cheating" by setting their color to the background color, you can set Game.prototype.backgroundColor to something else in the console. Also a way to see yourself if you are the one cheating ;)
