The power of generics in go for the repository pattern?

[frederikhors]

I just found this awesome post: https://hindenbug.io/the-power-of-generics-in-go-the-repository-pattern-for-gorm-7f8891df0934.

What do you think guys?

On reddit the discussion is hot too: https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/u9bti2/the_power_of_generics_in_go_the_repository.

I'm repeating (manually or by code generation) a lot of times the same code in many files for this.

What we can do?

I have limited experience with generics, but I believe they are not very useful for ORMs like Bun or GORM. You could create few utility functions that will save 2-3 lines of code, but it won't be much.

I am open for suggestions, but since Bun supports 2 last Go versions, we can only start using generics after Go 1.19 is released - which should happen relatively soon.
