Even in OO style (e.g. java), you would not be able to write Set s = null; s.init( list(1,2,3) );
This is (more or less) the same problem with value receiver. However, map is a reference type, so once the map has been created you really can use value receiver : https://play.golang.org/p/FePU2I-u2- If your concern is about "allocating a map with make, exactly the size of the input slice", then consider that the "constructor-like" idiom in go is a function NewSet, not a method : https://play.golang.org/p/6H1ThzyhbM -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
