maybe u could refer this project

HI:

I'm no offense, but Google has implemented go generic type in the gVisor project, and the thoughts are basically the same. I think this info may be helpful.

have a nice day, best regards.

Hi, thank you for your reply.

I find your blog which also explains this https://reficul.io/2019/02/09/go-generic-type-with-blaze/.

This project seems to provide a real generic. But betterGo is more likely want to provide generic library functions, like reduce, map, sum etc.
Three parts:

1. interface{} functions so that people can easily use it in the project
2. Use the generator to generate the specific type func type to erase the cost.

I think that maybe we can use gVisor's generic to finish 2 also.

Let's consider and discuss this.(I'll read more about the gVisor's code)

Hi, thanks for your explanation.

I'm so excited to see another try of a generic functional library for Go. The last time I used something similar was goderive.

Unfortunately, goderive did not use anything about AST, but something like templates. The extension of goderive is much more difficult than gVisor's generic. But luckily, goderive 's function has covered most user cases.

Compared goderive, I think your way could be a better generic type workaround before Go2 release. :)
