Me too. We have around a dozen go services and I have maybe used or seen interface{} once or twice for a hack. Especially after generics. I think the parent comment is suffering from poor quality go code. It’s like complaining about typescript because things in your codebase don’t have types

Dealing with databases and data scanning into custom structs, you would be writing lots Scanner/Valuer custom functions which use interface{}

If you are the lucky ones not dealing with databases, I sort-of envy you...!

Applications should basically never need to write custom Scanner/Valuer functions that deal in interface{}, if you find yourself doing that it's a red flag

I use sqlc and it makes this a non-issue.
