Hi, @meemoeuk, as well as welcome to the discussion forum!
No, I can not provide you anything conclusive. It appears to me that pieces just require to exist in Go since they chose to make ranges have actually compile-time dealt with dimensions. From my point of view, Go’s pieces are what I would certainly call a variety in C. In C, I could compose something similar to this:
err_code_t getsomedata( data_t * barrier, int ability, int * outElements);.
So getsomedata obtains a barrier as well as ability as well as requires to compose its information right into the barrier as well as shop the variety of components created right into outElements The API most likely needs to return some err_code_t worth to show that there had not been adequate ability or something.
In Go, I would certainly compose it similar to this:
func getsomedata( barrier [] information) ([] information, mistake).
So similar to C, I can preallocate a barrier as well as pass it in, after that the execution adds to it as well as returns it.
Like I stated, I do not have anything conclusive, however the Go variation is much better than the C variation in a minimum of one method to me since it obtains you a little bit extra compile-time safety and security. When you obtain a data_t * in C, the kind system does not inform you if that’s a reminder to a solitary data_t or a variety. The developer needs to know with the API as well as conventions. In Go, you utilize * information for a solitary as well as [] information for numerous.
Go’s append feature coincides point as C’s realloc to me. In C, I would certainly keep an eye on the existing size as well as complete ability of the barrier in their very own variables or perhaps in a struct (obviously, it depends upon context), however in Go, it’s all finished up right into a piece (which is simply a variety guideline as well as integer size as well as ability areas).
It appears to me they desired near to C-like simpleness with the integrated kinds with simply a couple of functions contributed to make points like concatenating strings, adding to series of information, associative ranges, and so on much easier. If you desire something like Python or C#’s list/List<> < > kinds, you can construct that in addition to a piece (or ranges, however after that you need to utilize the harmful bundle or do a great deal of runtime kind monitoring).
