Security with Go

Constructors

There are no constructors in Go, but there are New() functions that act like factories initializing an object. You simply have to create a function named New() that returns your data type. Here is an example:

package mainimport "fmt"type Person struct {   Name string}func NewPerson() Person {   return Person{      Name: "Anonymous",   }}func main() {   p := NewPerson()   fmt.Println(p)} 

There are no deconstructors in Go, since everything is garbage collected and you do not manually destroy objects. Defer is the closest you can get by deferring a function call to perform some cleanup when the current function ends.
