During a refactoring, I’ve managed to extract an interface that applies on 20 concrete types:

type AbstractItem interface {
    GetId() string
    SetId(newId string)

    GetKind() string

    GetName() *string
    SetName(newName string)
}

However, my concrete types have also some methods that reference an instance of themselves.

// Reset some attributes
func (car *Car) Reset() *Car {
    otherCar := &Car{}
    otherCar.odometer = 0
    return car
}

func (lamp *Lamp) Reset() *Lamp {
    otherLamp := &Lamp{}
    otherLamp.lampOn = false
    return otherLamp
}

So I’ve attempted to add to my AbstractItem interface:

   Reset() AbstractItem

But then, it doesn’t override anything anymore.

Is this something that can be solved by the use of generics?
I haven’t tried them yet, are they made for that use: replacing a type, even inside an interface?
