But since you have to use casts you are giving up some advantages of static typing, right?

  Yes, but the `container/list` standard library uses the same approach. I wrote a Cartesian product library that took a different tack--it splits the index and iterator cursor logic (integer fiddling) into one struct and the actual type into another, so it's easy to build type-checked objects. In full disclosure, though, that was mainly because the alternative (using `interface{}`) was so utterly painful.

    That sounds interesting and useful. Is that code publically available anywhere?

      No, unfortunately. It is proprietary.
