A focused explanation of type constraints in Go generics, drawn from the Go language specification. Covers how type constraints are interfaces that define permissible type arguments, and clarifies that the `interface{ … }` wrapper syntax is optional when using type elements (like `int | string` or `~int`), but required when specifying methods. Includes code examples showing equivalent constraint forms and the distinction between valid and invalid usages.
