In rust, hashsets are just hashmaps with a zero-sized type as the value, which results in all the extra getting optimized away.

A zero-sized type + hashmap for sets is also done in Go with a `struct{}`. [1][2]

But without generics it must be implemented again for each entry type ...

Kubernetes uses a code generator to automate this, but it's a bit kludge. [3]
