This reminds me of the Paul Khuong's string-case macro in Common Lisp.

We took a similar approach in our JSON decoder. We needed to support sets (JSON object keys) that aren't necessarily known until runtime, and strings that are up to 16 bytes in length.
We got better performance with a linear scan and SIMD matching than with a hash table or a perfect hashing scheme.
See https://github.com/segmentio/asm/pull/57 (AMD64) and https://github.com/segmentio/asm/pull/65 (ARM64). Here's how it's used in the JSON decoder: https://github.com/segmentio/encoding/pull/101

OP here, the algorithms we use give us about 5-10x the performance of the standard library sort, even compared against the new pdqsort in Go 1.19. https://github.com/segmentio/asm/pull/77

What are some alternatives?

When comparing string-case and asm you can also consider the following projects:

gperf - mirror of git.savannah.gnu.org/gperf.git with more features. gitlab has the issues

sha256-simd - Accelerate SHA256 computations in pure Go using AVX512, SHA Extensions for x86 and ARM64 for ARM. On AVX512 it provides an up to 8x improvement (over 3 GB/s per core). SHA Extensions give a performance boost of close to 4x over native.

faasd - A lightweight & portable faas engine

photoscope - Journey into photo management with golang

avo - Generate x86 Assembly with Go

encoding - Go package containing implementations of efficient encoding, decoding, and validation APIs.
