More and more I'm consider moving away from open source. It's just not as fun as it use to be.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

I'm putting the finishing touches on it. Yet, I'm just not feeling that excited about it. I used to get super pumped about new releases. But lately I keep wondering what exactly is the point?

The package is called 'btype' and it provides new b-tree based collection types for creating maps, queue, arrays, tables, etc. It uses modern Go ergonomics and incorporates some cool tricks I've learned over past few years.

I've spent the past couple months hand crafting a new B-tree map implementation for Go. It's fast. Faster than Rust's BTreeMap. Faster than the fastest C++ (frozenca/btree). And about 2x faster than my current Go btree (tidwall/btree).

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Go 1.26 brings the long-awaited vectorized operations (SIMD) in the simd/archsimd package.

Since it's hard to create a portable high-level API, the Go team decided to start with a low-level, architecture-specific one and support only amd64 for now.
