I guess it should say "any number type", but I'm not 100% sure. Am I right?
Thank you for the answer. I'm not good at computer science, so I'm often can't decide is this mistake or is there some subtlety that I'm missing. Small mistake and typos are quite common in blogs and talks and I am always quite unsettled by them (long story why). Unfortunately, they can be also in the presented code, at least in talks that I saw. "Never trust yourself, always run compiler" seems be the moral of the story. As a aside, today I found in "Why Generics?" (https://blog.golang.org/why-generics) at the end of the section "Ordered types" sentence "In practice this contract would probably go into the standard library. and so really the Min function". Punctuation in natural languages is beyond me, but I guess changing period to coma make it correct. PS. I know that now Go has Type Parameters Proposal (https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/refs/heads/master/design/43651-type-parameters.md), but I need to wrap my head around generics, so I try to read as much as possible, even about outdated things like contracts.
