How generics are implemented in Go 1.18

It affects method overloading too, I should have said “method overloading”.

Just take a look at the rules for method overloading in C#, or take a look at one of the various C# compilers to see how methods are resolved.

Why are they an issue in C#, but not Java, which also has similar method overloading? Or are they related to default arguments?

You may be inferring something that I didn’t write. I didn’t once mention method overloading in Java.

Yes, I inferred because earlier you mentioned Java and C#, but only mentioned C# when it came to method overloading. Does Java have the same issue you were referring to when you mentioned C#?

I don't have enough Java experience to know the answer to that question.
