This was the best explanation of go generics I've found, subscribed!

Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words

[@happy..1907]

Very well explained, thanks for creating this video. 👍

I was confused at first to see that TSM is doing golang videos nowadays... Quite a nice video with clear examples. Thanks :)

This is so far the best video on explaining GENERICS. 👍x10000

The best video that explains generics in go, Thanks :)

Thanks mate, means a lot to hear you say that 😊

thanks, I really like the Currency example, shows what Go generics are capable of!

Its the best so far for Generics

Nice video!

I don't get the last example. What is difference between `func PrintBalance[T Currency](b T )` with the function `func PrintBalance(b Currency)`?

[@leetwareltd]

Great question - my understanding is that you can't use type constraints (in this case Currency) as a type in a normal function - only in a generic function. The reason has to do with how the compiler works, non-generic functions always compile once to handle that function. But a generic function will compile multiple times for each type that it handles. The constraint `Currency` can't be used as a type to compile into a function which works for all implementations of `Currency` - so we need to use a generic function. At least this is how I remember it working in go 1.18 - it's been a while since I looked this deeply at it 😅

[@manavshah5395]

Great question. I still don't understand this bit.
