Re:Map[string]interface{} in Go: a user's manual by BenTheElder on Monday July 26, 2021 @03:02PM (#27963773)
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]
