Make Map a function not a method (not sure it can be made a method they way
you’re trying):
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strconv"
)
type List[T any] []T
func ToList[T any](v []T) List[T] {
return List[T](v)
}
func Map[T, U any](l List[T], f func(v T) U) List[U] {
r := make(List[U], len(l))
for i, x := range l {
r[i] = f(x)
}
return r
}
func main() {
x := []int{1, 2, 3}
y := ToList(x)
fmt.Println(y)
fmt.Printf("%q\n", Map(y, strconv.Itoa))
}
