What did you do?

package main

import "fmt"

type A interface{}

type X string

func main() {
    sliceA := make([]A, 0, 0)
    sliceX := []X{"x1", "x2"}
    var appendedSlice []A
    appendedSlice = append(sliceA, sliceX[0], sliceX[1])  // (1) works
    appendedSlice = append(sliceA, sliceX...)             // (2) doesn't work
    fmt.Println(appendedSlice)

}

(Taken from this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53059641/notation-in-append-doesnt-work-for-appending-different-type-slices/53059817#53059817 , but I had the same problem)

What did you expect to see?

I expect for append to work the same way, when the thing I'm appending is a struct or a slice of struct, since it adds it dynamically one by one anyway. Shouldn't it work with the slice too?

What did you see instead?

cannot use sliceX (type []X) as type []A in append
