They're not reserved keywords. Existing/package defined min/max functions would take precedence. They have the same semantics as `append`

[WhereIsTheTruth]

You refactored your code, you think you wrote your ``min`` function, but no, it'll call the builtin one, without warning you..

I don't like this design..

[vito]

The compiler will tell you if the types aren't compatible, and this is only for primitive comparable types. What `min()` implementation could you have that even does something different?

[KRAKRISMOTT]

A heap?

[Chiron1991]

Not too familiar with go toolchains, but I bet there's a linter that will warn you about shadowing builtins.

[Mawr]

Yep: "variable append has same name as predeclared identifier (predeclared) go-golangci-lint"

[bananapub]

if you have so few tests and so little code review that this matters then I am not sure what to suggest

[dgfitz]

Qt uses qMin and qMax, it may have been nice if go went with like gMin and gMax
