Thank you Hi Pierre, If it helps, I usually just cryptographically hash the key (e.g. with Blake3, a very fast hash both with and without hardware support), and turn a prefix of that hash (I typically use 33 bytes or 264 bits; has negligible chance of collision) into the string key of a built in map. For example, https://github.com/glycerine/rpc25519/blob/master/hash/blake3.go#L104 - Jason -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
