Generics

Generics are how you write code that works over many types without giving up type safety — a function or type parameterized by a type it fills in later. They're the feature people find most intimidating and the one that unlocks reusable, precisely-typed abstractions. Once you see a generic as "a type variable," the intimidation fades and the power remains.

Generics: Type Parameters and Constraints

How type parameters and constraints actually work in Go 1.18+ — writing functions and data structures that are type-safe across many types, when the compiler can infer type arguments for you, and the harder question of when a plain interface is still the better tool.
