what is the difference between using any or interface as a base type in golang ?

package main

import "fmt"

func main(){
    var fname any = "hello world"
    var sname interface{} = "hello world"

    fmt.Println(fname)
    fmt.Println(sname)
}

interface is a keyword

any is a builtin

any is defined as type any = interface{} which is a type alias and is in absolutely all ways equal to interface{}

[true rock]

so instead of using interface i can use any instead ?

[jolly sun]

instead of using an empty interface you can use any instead

you can't write:

type I any{
 SomeMethod()
}

that does not work

i see

[jovial carbon]

interface - a keyword for defining interfaces
interface{} - an interface without any requirements, so all types implement it
any - a type alias of interface{} so same as interface{}

[true rock]

yeah i understand it now brother
