Convert []string to []interface{}

I just want to write some code like this:

func (w Writer) WriteVString(strs []string) (int, error) {
    return writeV(func(index int, str interface{}) (int, error) {
    	return w.WriteString(str.(string))
    }, strs) // it doesn't work
}

func (w Writer) WriteV(bs [][]byte) (int, error) {
    return writeV(func(index int, b interface{}) (int, error) {
    	return w.Write(b.([]byte))
    }, []interface{}{bs...}) // it also can't be compiled
}
type writeFunc func(int, interface{}) (int, error)

func writeV(fn writeFunc, slice []interface{}) (n int, err error) {
    var m int
    for index, s := range slice {
    	if m, err = fn(index, s); err != nil {
    		break
    	}
    	n += m
    )
	return
}

I thought interface{} can represent any type, so []interface can also represent any []type before, now I know I'm wrong, []type is a whole type, can't be considered as []interface{}.

So, can anyone help me how to make this code work, or any other solution?

PS: I know that []byte or string can be converted to one another, but it's not actually my intention, may be there is another type rather than []byte and string.

Yes, and that is because interface{} is its own type (and not an "alias" for any other type).
As I mention in "what is the meaning of interface{} in golang?" (if v is a interface{} variable):

> Beginner gophers are led to believe that “v is of any type”, but that is wrong.
v is not of any type; it is of interface{} type.

The FAQ mentions

This example converts a slice of int to a slice of interface{}:

t := []int{1, 2, 3, 4}
s := make([]interface{}, len(t))
for i, v := range t {
    s[i] = v
}

Tom L propose this example (in the comments):

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

    x := []string{"a", "b", "c", "d"}
    fmt.Printf("%T: %v\n", x, x)

    //converting a []string to a []interface{}
    y := make([]interface{}, len(x))
    for i, v := range x {
        y[i] = v
    }
    fmt.Printf("%T: %v\n", y, y)

    //converting a []interface{} to a []string
    z := make([]string, len(y))
    for i, v := range y {
        z[i] = fmt.Sprint(v)
    }
    fmt.Printf("%T: %v\n", z, z)

}

1. Create a utility function, like this

func ToGenericArray(arr ...interface{}) []interface{} {
	return arr
}

2. And use it:

func yourfunc(arr []interface{})  {
....
}

yourfunc(ToGenericArray([...]string{"a", "b", "c"}))

3. IMPORTANT NOTICE: the following will not work

func yourfunc(arr []interface{})  {
....
}

arr:=[...]string{"a", "b", "c"}

yourfunc(ToGenericArray(arr))

With generics, useful with sql package

func toAnyList[T any](input []T) []any{
	list := make([]any, len(input))
	for i, v := range input {
		list[i] = v
	}
	return list
}
