Shouldnt it be return UUID { uuid: uuid.uuid } ?

I think it would make more sense AND more uuid per UUID

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The first UUID is a local type, the second is the name of an embedded struct, the third is the name of the variable.

The struct looks something like this (writing this on my phone)

type UUID struct { uuid.UUID }

So, basically, this is a custom wrapper for a third party UUID implementation.

Ahh, that makes sense then

I'm assuming it's a map/dictionary notation here, rather than a type hint
