This chapter introduces the syntax and semantics of generics in Go. Many coding examples are presented that illustrate this new and powerful feature of Go. This sets the stage for the continued use of generics throughout the book.

Concurrency in Go is also reviewed in this chapter. Many coding examples are presented along with benchmarks that contrast the performance of algorithms with and without concurrency. This also sets the stage for the continued use of concurrency throughout ...
