Go 1.18 is scheduled to release in February 2022, this release is a big one because it introduces the highly anticipated (and controversial) Type Parameter feature aka generics; it’s probably going to take some time until we actually migrate to 1.18 at work, so I’ve been looking for excuses to play with it. A few weeks ago I worked on a feature that could have been implemented succinctly using the actor model, after thinking it through, I realized generics would make it possible to have actors without relying on interface{} too much so I decided to play with how the API could look like.
