Calling stat on all the files is just really expensive if your directly is large.

  See the Reddit for an alternative to FileInfo. https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/hv976o/qa_iofs_draft_design/ https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/hv976o/qa_iofs_draf...

  FileInfo is an interface, isn't it? You could populate fields other than "name" lazily, right?
  • TheDong 6y ago
    You can't because the interface doesn't allow any errors. Lazily populating data is usually fallible, and the interface's methods are all infallible.

      OK, I'm convinced. Not a great interface, should just return an iterator.
