Calling one function and getting either an empty container or a container full of empty elements is very strange behavior.
Are you speaking about clear? It’s my understanding that clear doesn’t get you anything. It modifies the object passed to it, sure, but it doesn’t return different types back to the caller.
Edit: I notice this is downvoted- can someone provide feedback if my understanding of clear is incorrect? 🤔
I honestly try and read Go news from time to time, with an open mind, but the amount of terrible footguns is astounding, especially when the language is marketed as "simple" and easy for beginner to grasp. I would pick C# or Java over it anytime.
