I just discovered the experiment to make the "type" keyword optional in certain cases on the dev.go2go branch. The commit message says:
--- Experiment: Make "type" keyword optional in generic type declarations when it is clear that we can't have an array type declaration. This is the case when we have one the following: - more than one type parameter - a type parameter with a constraint - a trailing comma in the type parameter list -- If the "type" keyword is not necessary if a constraint is present, then why not make a constraint mandatory and get rid of the "type" keyword in type parameter lists altogether? Before: func Filter[type Elem](...) func Map[Elem1, Elem2](...) func Max[Elem constraints.Ordered](...) After: func Filter[Elem interface{}](...) func Map[Elem1, Elem2 interface{}](...) func Max[Elem constraints.Ordered](...) "interface{}" may be a little bulky, especially it since it is usually used for the simple cases. But if there was a short type alias for "interface{}" like "any" it can look good: type any = interface{} func Filter[Elem any](...) func Map[Elem1, Elem2 any](...) func Max[Elem constraints.Ordered](...) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
