lo
✨ samber/lo is a Lodash-style Go library based on Go 1.18+ Generics.
This project started as an experiment with the new generics implementation. It may look like Lodash in some aspects. I used to code with the fantastic "go-funk" package, but "go-funk" uses reflection and therefore is not typesafe.
As expected, benchmarks demonstrate that generics are much faster than implementations based on the "reflect" package. Benchmarks also show similar performance gains compared to pure for loops. See below.
In the future, 5 to 10 helpers will overlap with those coming into the Go standard library (under package names slices and maps). I feel this library is legitimate and offers many more valuable abstractions.
names := lo.Uniq[string]([]string{"Samuel", "John", "Samuel"})
// []string{"Samuel", "John"}
import "github.com/samber/lo"
lo.Map([]int64{1, 2, 3, 4}, func(x int64, index int) string {
return strconv.FormatInt(x, 10)
})
// []string{"1", "2", "3", "4"}
I'm not sure I would use this in production code, but I'd be tempted for sure
