goset VS golang-set

Compare goset vs golang-set and see what are their differences.

goset

Set is a useful collection but there is no built-in implementation in Go lang. (by zoumo)

golang-set

A simple, battle-tested and generic set type for the Go language. Trusted by Docker, 1Password, Ethereum and Hashicorp. (by deckarep)

  • Is there something similar to blessed.rs ?

    If it were true, there wouldn't be any 3rd-party libs for Go and everybody used just the stdlib. For instance, if you need a set, you can use https://github.com/deckarep/golang-set . Of course, you can do it with the stdlib with map, but if you don't want to do that, use golang-set . I think Python has a much larger stdlib and yet, Python has tons of 3rd-party packages.
  • Any major projects using generics?

    golang-set is a set implementation used by docker, ethereum and others. 2.8k stars on GitHub. Pretty popular project. Not sure if it counts as major. https://github.com/deckarep/golang-set
  • When will Go get sets?

  • Does anyone else get tired of the "that's trivial to implement" excuse for leaving things out of the standard library?
    6 projects | /r/golang | 15 Sep 2022
    Why not look at something like https://github.com/deckarep/golang-set ?
  • Go 1.18 Released

    It depends on the level of abstraction you're addressing. One level may be "i need to store things with a quick search function", another may be "i need a storage of ordered names and expiry date for things", etc until you get to "I need a binary tree which orders by comparable types".

    Where you split that process as a separate library you either decide to write or reuse - that becomes the problem to solve. A set implementation may be a problem to solve: https://github.com/deckarep/golang-set A btree may be a problem to solve: https://gitlab.com/cznic/b/-/tree/master/v2

  • Major update to the golang-set repo now supporting generics syntax for Go 1.18beta1 release
    1 project | /r/golang | 25 Dec 2021
    This pre-release only exists on the generics branch at: https://github.com/deckarep/golang-set/tree/generics. Eventually this release would be tagged with a 2.0 release tag name.
