A Generic Talk About Go

A look into generics and some of the other languages features now available in Go, with live coding and live bugs, because who doesn’t love trying to code up audience questions on the fly.

Go was designed to be simple, and easy to understand. Its use of interfaces and composable types meant it didn’t need generics. So obviously it now has generics. Which is great. Sort of.

Join me as I fire up an IDE and demonstrate the highs and lows of generics, and a few other new languages features we’ve gained in Go recently.
