I am an avid user of Go who loves how it makes my life so much easier due to its amazing simplicity. I am thrilled to find that a great deal of progress has been made in adding (simple) generic types and functions to the language, which will make my life even simpler! When I discovered the go2go tool I immediately created a package that implements a variant of the set container. Rather than using a map it uses a slice of ranges. This has some performance advantages for some types of real-world sets.
Note that it is compatible with Ian Lance Taylor's set package (see src/cmd/go2go/testdata/go2path/src/sets) with the restriction that it only works with integral types. Apart from (possibly huge) memory advantages for some types of sets it also has a few useful characteristics: elements are returned in order + it is possible to invert a set and create a Universal set (inverse of an empty set). The complete source code can be found at https://github.com/AndrewWPhillips/rangeset. (I wrote it in August but have updated it to the latest syntax.) I also wrote about it in my blog <https://devmethodologies.blogspot.com/>last November. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
