First look at Go 1.18's new generics feature | Smart Go

The video introduces generics in Go 1.18, explaining how they allow functions to accept a range of types without needing specialization. It covers parameterized types, which enable writing functions that work with various types, and provides an example of creating a generic function using interfaces. The video highlights the advantages of generics, such as reducing the need for multiple function versions and enhancing code flexibility. It concludes by noting that generics are new to Go and will be explored further in future videos.
