What is the Golang equivalent of a void pointer

Question

I am already familiar with C and I've been working on improving my Golang skills. Anyone know how to create something reminiscent of a void * in Golang?

For example:

struct Node {
    void *data;
    struct Node *next;
    struct Node *prev;
}

I thought it was `interface{}`, but I don't even know Go. – user253751 Aug 08 '16 at 01:15 — user253751, Aug 08 '16 at 01:15

You have to use an empty interface, (interface {}), and modify it to what you want. (Source). This is known as an empty interface, and it can embody any type.
