>From the language spec at
https://golang.org/ref/spec#Passing_arguments_to_..._parameters:
If the final argument is assignable to a slice type []T, it is
passed unchanged as the value for a ...T parameter if the argument
is followed by .... In this case no new slice is created.
The final argument to Printf is []interface{}, while you are trying to
pass []string. In order for this to work, []string would have to be
assignable to []interface{}, which it isn't.
This is related to a FAQ at
https://golang.org/doc/faq#convert_slice_of_interface.
If, after reading the above links and the definition of assignability at
https://golang.org/ref/spec#Assignability, you are still unclear why it
is not compiling, ask on the list for more help.
