like new() and make(), clone() will return a relative type like generic. It is used to deep copy any object.
Clone doesn’t make sense in a language with pointers and private fields. You could end up cloning a lock, for example.
If there is a pointer, it return a new pointer point to new object. It also copy private fields.
That won’t work, if I have a reference to a giant in memory database then clone would copy the entire thing ?
I don’t think clone is the solution you are looking for. What is the original problem that you are trying to solve ?
