What did you do?

Wrote a generic struct and created a method that returns an empty instance of it.

type Example[T any] struct{}

func Function() Example[int] {
	return Example{}
}

What did you expect to see?

I expected the above code to infer generic type of Example based on the return type of the function and work.

What did you see instead?

The code does not compile, with an error message: cannot use generic type Example[T any] without instantiation.

You have to explicitly change the function to look like:

func Function() Example[int] {
	return Example[int]{}
}

to make it work.
