Hi all -
I know that there’s have been numerous threads regarding the syntax for
declaring generic types etc, and at it’s core Go is a language that can do a
lot without syntactic sugar just for the sake of it, but sometimes that
syntactic sugar helps in a fundamental way - legibility.
Observe this function declaration
func Combine(type T)(s []T) (T,error){
….
}
Do we think that 3 consecutive clauses wrapped in parentheses is legible, that
the intent of both the function and its constraints are easily discernible?
To me, and it is only my opinion, unless (type T) has different ‘versions’ i.e.
(struct T) or (func T), isn’t "(type " not only redundant but reduces
readability?
Apologies if this has been discussed before.
Calum
