The difference between new and make in the Go language

1. New can be any type, returning a pointer: *t, allocating only memory, not initializing memory, just zeroing it
2. Make can only be used for Map,slice,chan, return an initialized (instead of 0), the value of type T

Example:

var map1 = new(map[string]string)(*map1)["china"] = "中国"    // 此处会报错：panic: assignment to entry in nil map。                                               //  因为map零值为nil，不能向为nil的map中增加数据var map2 = make(map[string]string)map2["china"] = "中国"
