A generic, battle-tested set data structure library for Go, offering both thread-safe and non-thread-safe set implementations modeled after Python's set collection. It supports set operations like union, intersection, and difference, plus JSON/BSON marshaling and Go 1.23+ iterators.

Use cases

  • need a set data structure in Go
  • deduplicate items in a Go collection
  • perform set operations like union and intersection in Go
  • thread-safe set for concurrent Go code
  • replace Python-style sets when porting to Go

When to choose

  • you need a mature, widely-adopted set implementation in Go
  • you need thread-safe sets for concurrent access
  • you want generics support on Go 1.18+

When to avoid

  • you only need simple deduplication and prefer a plain map[T]struct{}
  • you're on Go versions older than 1.18
