Golang Online Meetup - July 2020
Details
Waddup GoSGreans,
Another month went by and Singapore has opened back for outings (with 4 or less of your friends of course!). But why go out to the scary world for makan when you can get brainfood delivered to at the comfort of your home? Choose to #stayin (and help our frontline workers curbing COVID!) and join our July meetup where our speakers will be talking about one of the most requested (and controversial?) features that might be added in Go 2 - Generics.
Christopher Wu - Cloud Developer @ Shopee, contributor of Wine.
In this talk, Chris will show us how to use code generation like C++ templating to implement Golang generics (monomorphization). https://github.com/PioneerIncubator/betterGo
Bill Kenedy - Managing Partner @ Ardan Labs
In this talk, Bill Kennedy will review the major aspects of the draft proposal with code samples. He will spend time teaching different aspects of the new syntax and show how generics can help make Go programs more readable when it's reasonable and practical to use generics. After the presentation will ask questions to the group to get feedback and opinions.
Special shout-out to Google Developers Space (https://devspace-sg.dev) for hosting and recording!
