Oh cool, I hadn't run into LogValuer, that's cool. And passing pointers to strings rather than strings, hmmm.

  > And passing pointers to strings rather than strings, hmmm. Are you referring to the "URL" example? That isn't a case of passing pointers to strings, that is passing a URL (fmt.Stringer) where the String method has a pointer receiver. To demonstrate why the pointer would be needed in that case, consider: type URL struct{} func (*URL) String() string { return "https://..." } func print(v any) { fmt.Println(v.(fmt.Stringer).String()) } func main() { print(&URL{}) // ok print(URL{}) // panic }
