What Hacker News says?
This is really really awesome. I applaud you. I had my own project trying to achieve a similar outcome to you, I wrote about it here: https://www.bytesizego.com/blog/keeping-alive-with-go . Your approach is much more hardcore. I hope you find a path to make them available to more folks. If there is anything I can do to assist you please let me know!

HN discussionApparently Go 1.24's internal implementation of maps was changed to use Swiss Tables (reimplemented in Go, of course, not the Abseil C++ implementation). https://www.bytesizego.com/blog/go-124-swiss-table-maps I'd be interested to see how the new Tiny Pointers algorithm would perform against Swiss Tables, specially when occupation rate is high. https://www.quantamagazine.org/undergraduate-upends-a-40-yea...
