Go Pointers — When and Why
Use pointers when you want to mutate the callee's value, share a large struct without copying, or distinguish "no value" via nil. Go has no pointer arithmetic — much safer than C.
Go Methods and Receivers
Methods are functions with a receiver argument. Use pointer receivers when you mutate, when the struct is large, OR for consistency (mixing pointer + value receivers on the same type is a common bug source).
