    Why Go needs both make and newโ—You want to create a slice: numbers := make([]int, 3) But for a struct, you might see: user := new(User) Both seem to "cMmastodonTechnologySoftware23 d ago

    A programming explainer on Go's memory allocation is circulating among developers, addressing a common point of confusion for newcomers: why the language has two built-in functions that both seem to create values. The piece contrasts make([]int, 3), used to initialise slices and other composite types, with new(User), which allocates a struct and returns a pointer, arguing the two solve fundamentally different problems rather than overlapping.
