How to Use Go Interfaces
Great article that corroborates what I've also personally seen in many Go applications.IMHO, if you're coding Java style interfaces up-front ("Repository", "Service", etc) you're already doing it wrong. It's likely that you're either over-engineering your project or prematurely optimizing for flexibility you will not need. You'll likely feel as though you're fighting the language to build these abstractions and layered architectures.Go is all about minimalism. As the article says, you should be writing the concrete implementations first, then defining interfaces in the client code. The calling code should pick and choose the behaviour it needs from the implementation. As hard as it is for most seasoned Java developers, you have to silence that anxious voice inside that keeps asking "what if I need to swap this out for something else?". Go is about getting things done, not beautiful abstractions.
