when I run the first example with the sample.txt, I get the following:

go run static-demo.go

command-line-arguments

./static-demo.go:10:4: go:embed cannot apply to var inside func

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

package main

import (
	_ "embed"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {

	//go:embed sample.txt
	var s string
	fmt.Println(s)

}
