Hi all !

I'm just a beginner in Golang and I see a discussion in regards to introduce generics into Go.

But is it possible to provide an example where it is impossible to use interface instead of generic ?

Thank you in advance.

The proposal to add generics to go has been accepted and it is due to be added in v1.18

Hello,
thank you very much for clarification.
I'm just a beginner and come here to understand rationale behind the decision.

Thank you so much !
