A hands-on tutorial repository for learning Go generics introduced in Go 1.18, with labs, benchmarks, and an FAQ. It explains generic type concepts, internals, and practical patterns through runnable examples.

Use cases

• learn go generics from scratch
• understand how go implements generics internally
• find answers to go generics questions like what any means
• benchmark generic vs non-generic go code patterns
• get started with type parameters in go 1.18

When to choose

• you are a Go developer new to generics and want guided labs
• you want explanations of generics internals and type erasure in Go
• you need a quick FAQ for generics syntax like tilde constraints

When to avoid

• you need up-to-date coverage of newer Go releases since the repo was last updated in 2022
• you want a production library rather than a tutorial
• you are not working with the Go language
