Ensuring Interface Implementation at Compile Time in Go 🛠️

Image description

In Go, we can’t implicitly implement interfaces like in some other languages. To ensure a type implements an interface, we explicitly check this by trying to cast the type to the interface. If the type doesn’t match, Go will give a compile-time error, and the code won’t compile 🚫

This compile-time check helps catch errors early, making sure your types conform to the expected interfaces. If Task doesn’t implement Executor properly, Go won’t compile the code, saving you from potential issues at runtime 👨‍💻
