As we saw in Chapter 1, Building Big with Go, the interface construct is key to polymorphism in Go—abstracting out details from a set of related objects so that we can simplify code. The interface defines a contract that can be assumed by clients, without knowledge (and thus coupling) of the actual class that implements the interface. Interfaces are types that declare sets of methods. Similar to interfaces in other languages, they have no implementation. Interfaces are at the core of Go's object-oriented support.
Many object-oriented languages define explicit implementations of an interface; however, Go is different. Here, the implementation is implicit through duck typing (as we saw in Chapter 1,
