[Golist] Sequence Question

[Moses Gunesch]

Speaking of,
a question on my mind about the Sequence architecture:

I really wanted to structure things so that inputs & outputs could be  
custom typed. Hence the rather strange way that there is no common  
interface like ISequence and sequence classes have to custom implement  
getters like currentStep() etc. to return the correct type.

The "normal" way to work with AS3's restrictions on overriding  
datatypes is to force the user to cast return values constantly. So  
far I've run into one situation where I wished there was a common  
interface but, I guess my logic was that if you are working with one  
sequencer you'll stick to it, you're not going to work with two of the  
same thing. Also, chances are there won't be too many more sequencers  
written, maybe a small handful but it's not where Go coders are going  
to spend their time.

So although it's not terribly standard the way I did it, I still think  
it might be better, just to be able to use commonly known methods but  
with correct datatypes & no casting.

Opinions on that issue if you got 'em...
