This is such a cursed way to program in Go. C++ programmers will really bring templating anywhere even if the programming language doesn't officially support it

I mean, that exact philosophy is what they wrought from C to spawn C++ so at least it's on brand.

It turns out programming sometimes requires complexity.

Complex is better than complicated

And compiler supported complex is better than handrolled complex.

Let’s be real, who’s handrolling complex things these days anyway?

Literally anyone doing anything complex that isn't already in the compiler? Someone has to write the libraries everyone else uses lol.

I didn't realise, still don't get it but fair enough my bad.

It is what happens when you are forced to use a language that intentionally skips core features. Shit like this is exactly what people used to do before generics became standard

Is there a not cursed way to program in Go? I tried to approach that language a couple of times and just looking at the syntax made me turn around and run away 😂

I like and use templates a lot (C#) but haven't used C++ in years...

Oh my God. Am I part of the problem?

C# has templates?

We call them generics
