I've been using Golang professionally for about a decade. In that time the only place I've ever needed to use a tree map was an interview that specifically called for it.

Whose usage are you trying to optimize the language for? Golang is not a good academic language. But it is extremely good for actually solving problems with code.

A tree map is just an example.

More compelling ones are sets, ordered maps, a generic sync.Map, optionals (nulls suck!), abstractions over channels - badly needed!

I wouldn't consider any of those to be academic.

See the example given from Kubernetes. Is that not a real codebase, or what?
