## What it is
A collection of example code demonstrating Go generics (type parameters) introduced in Go 1.18. It serves as a reference for learning how to write and use generic code in Go.

## Use cases
- learn go generics
- see examples of go type parameters
- understand how generics work in go 1.18
- find go libraries that use generics
- reference for writing generic functions in go

## When to choose
- you are learning Go generics and want runnable example code
- you want a curated list of third-party generics-based Go libraries

## When to avoid
- you need a production library rather than example code
- you are using Go earlier than 1.18
- you need comprehensive generics documentation rather than samples

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools
- domain: programming-languages, tutorials, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: generics, go-1-18, examples, type-parameters
