https://gobyexample.com/slices gives the impression that arrays and slices are independent things, which is not true. A slice cannot exist without an underlying array. A slice is a window view on an array, a reference to a part of an array. Multiple slices can provide different views on the same array. When you create a completely new slice you also create a new underlying array and the window size is initially the same as the size of the array.

Yeah there is more work to do on explaining slices for sure. I'll probably create a separate example to explain underlying arrays + capacity and perhaps break out the slicing operation into its own example. Thanks for the feedback.
