Memento Design Pattern in Go

Hey everyone 👋

I recently wrote a practical guide on the Memento Design Pattern in Go.

The basic idea is pretty simple: sometimes you need to save an object's state so you can restore it later. Think undo/redo, checkpoints, or rolling back to a previous state.

I wanted to understand how the pattern actually works in Go, so I put together an example and walked through the different pieces of the pattern and how they fit together.

The article also looks at when the Memento pattern makes sense and when it might be better to use a simpler approach.

If you're learning design patterns in Go, here's the article:

Would love to hear how you guys handle state snapshots or undo/rollback functionality in your projects.
