Your Join function is a simple extension of strings.Join:
func JoinJoinLast(elems []string, sep, lastSep string) string
However, for no obvious reason, you chose a different function parameter signature:
func JoinJoinLast(sep string, lastSep string, words ...string) string
You don't have not provided any testing benchmarks. For example,
BenchmarkJoin-4 5626939 5534918 219 207.49 ns/op 45104 B/op 35 allocs/op
func JoinStringsIntoArray(sep string, lastSep string, words ...string) string {
lastElementIndex := len(words) - 1
var joinedString string
for index, word := range words[0:lastElementIndex] {
if index == lastElementIndex-1 {
sep = lastSep
}
joinedString += word + sep
}
joinedString += words[lastElementIndex]
return joinedString
}
func BenchmarkJoin(b *testing.B) {
words := []string{"one", "two", "three", "four", "five"}
