The Power Of Struct Embedding And Interfaces In Golang 

Ty

This is actually a very good question. Till now I haven't found any better way than just running an instance of godoc locally (with -index option) and just search there. But happy to hear any better solution. Cheers 👍

@@Jarek. i am a new golang user, do you have a chance to explain a bit more how i can use godoc to accomplish this?

At this point of the example a pointer to Enemy is not needed. But, if Enemy is no pointer and you want to modify the underlying transform, called in another function you will modify a copy. But your point on fragmentation and cache misses is valid.

@@anthonygg_ Ah yes, I did not think of that aspect of it. I have gotten into the habit of always using reference receivers over value ones when writing functions which alleviates that, but obviously is not always possible or the desired behavior for every scenario. I have noticed there are some "gotchas" with embedded structs. The syntatic sugar makes it easy to view it as inheritance, which can lead to shooting yourself in the foot. My first sincere effort at a Go project required a major overhaul because I wrongfully assumed I could cast the "base" type into the type calling the function. This broke my habit of naming the receiver "self" or "this" lol.

I'd say it's just polymorphism, not a specific pattern, just a specific implementation

Think of them as dictionary objects instead. Embedding is similar to composing dictionaries so you can reference the embedded attributes directly

Correct.

@@anthonygg_ just to clarify were you saying correct to my statement or to @functionator?

@@joshi1q2w3e @functionater is kinda right here. You need to think about structs as pieces that hold data. If you embed piece A into piece B. B will have the fields of piece A

Go is a complete procedure language so comparing with OOPS of python is not really wise.. but if you want to then classes of python is what would be replaced by gos struct

Thanks
