  1. go

    The Go programming language

    IMHO this is an excellent example of why https://github.com/golang/go/issues/48918 was so popular - the community wants generics but don't want it rushed, and it's worth taking the time to make sure it's done coherently.

  3. golang-set

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

    Why not look at something like https://github.com/deckarep/golang-set ?

  4. generic-sync-map-go

    Discontinued Generic implementation of sync.Map

    I personally use github.com/SaveTheRbtz/generic-sync-map-go.
