peds VS elvish

Or lets look at persistent data structures, a staple of functional programming:

https://github.com/tobgu/peds

Notice how you'd need to generate the DS for every type you'd like to use it, which is not the case with built in mutable maps and slices.

To make them type-safe, you need to generate them for every type you use. While this is technically possible, it does make the language quite hostile towards functional programming. With generics, this is rectified but the problem with non-composable multi-return-value functions still remains

One of the library types that benefits from having generics is "data structure" libraries. Does anyone know of work going on to make a Go 1.18+ persistent data structure library (something like this or this)?

Shameless plug: Elvish is a shell with a filesystem navigator built in - you can see it in demo 5 on the homepage https://elv.sh

If you are looking for a more sane *shell* scripting language, Elvish looks promising: https://elv.sh/

I do this with elvish

I use Elvish as my shell so this is r/technicallythetruth for me
