Ever wondered why some of your loops don’t behave as expected? It’s not just you! The way range evaluates elements has a few sneaky quirks that can lead to hard-to-spot bugs.

To help you write safer and smarter Go code, I’ve broken it all down in my latest article:

  • Why range can trip you up (with examples).
  • The hidden mechanics behind element evaluation.
  • How to fix common pitfalls and avoid future headaches.
