Go opted for the explicit approach, probably based on the experience of C, where type promotion follows certain implicit rules. The advantage of an explicit approach is that you remove certain classes of subtle errors from programs, in a trade-off for more typing. You can arrange your values such that they already have the correct type at times, but otherwise you have to make the conversion yourself explicitly in the program. -- J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
