> Right. I was reacting to the grandparent, who mentioned parallel computation, not concurrency. Ah! I missed that. Mea culpa. > Nice :). Though my Haskell heart cries when people use interface{} plus reflection as a replacement for parametric polymorphism. As does mine :P But it was a fun exercise nonetheless. If you have a Haskell heart, you might be interested in my write up [1] on writing type parametric functions (using new Go 1.1 features). You will do some bleeding, but presumably you like types, so you might find it interesting. :-) > Before we know it the library stack will effectively turn Go into a dynamically typed language. Fortunately, the performance cost of reflection makes practical usage of it very limited. `ParMap` is in the minority here (where the overhead of concurrency shadows the overhead of reflection).
