Explore the concept of generics in Go through this 24-minute conference talk from GopherCon 2019. Dive into the advantages and requirements of implementing generics in the Go programming language. Learn how to reverse a slice of strings and discover sample functions and data structures that can be written generically. Gain insights into guidelines for designing with generics and understand how to reverse a slice of any type. Examine various contracts including Sequence, Stringer, and Ordered. Delve into generic binary tree data structures, learning how to create, search, and use them effectively. Conclude with a look at type checking implementation to experiment with these concepts.
