why would one use the "Functional Options" pattern in go?
I just learned about the Functional Options pattern in golang. what are the benefits of using it over just allowing to pass a config struct and just overriding the default values provided in the config? why do i need the complication of passing a function? I moved to golang from python, so maybe its because golang doesn't have kwarg unpacking? Explanation of the pattern The Functional Options pattern in Go is a design pattern used to configure objects in a flexible and extensible way. It involves defining a set of options as functions that modify the state of an object. This pattern is particularly useful when you have a constructor or initializer function with many optional parameters.
