Efficient Go APIs with the mid-stack inliner

A common task in Go API design is returning a byte slice. In this post I will explore some old techniques and a new one that became possible in Go 1.12 with the introduction of the mid-stack inliner. Returning a fresh slice The most natural approach is to return a fresh byte slice, like...
