On: Generics can make your Go code slower

[slrz]

What is it that Go supposedly calls casting? The term (or its variations) does not show up in the language specification.

People sometimes use it for type conversions but that's in line with usage elsewhere, no?

[merely-unlikely → slrz]

Are you talking about type assertions? It's right there in the Go Tour. But that's a different thing than a type conversion.
