Generics, Reflection, and Efficient Collections - Eleanor McHugh

Learn how to create flexible and efficient programs using Go's Generics, Reflection, and Collections, with practical examples and real-world applications.

Key takeaways
  • Generics can be used to create flexible and reusable functions
  • The indexable type can be used to create a range method for any type
  • Reflection can be used to implement a generic map reduce function
  • The reducible type can be used to create a generic function that can be used with different types

  • The switch statement can be used to handle different types of values in a program
  • The val function can be used to retrieve the value of a variable
  • The set function can be used to set the value of a variable
  • The get function can be used to retrieve the value of a variable
  • The map function can be used to create a map of values
  • The slice function can be used to create a slice of values
  • The append function can be used to add new values to a slice
