Blob HashMap

[ripe loom]

Is there any blob hashmap?

There was a public repo for this back in 0.15 but a safety check broke building it https://github.com/bartofzo/BlobHashMaps/blob/master/README.md

I've made my own fixed version in the past

But there's no official solution unfortunately

Interestingly this might work again now that we are using a Roslyn Analyzer for Blob errors so the genericness of the bug should no longer be there.

I found a better solution. as blob array are immutable doing a binary search is fast

maybe even this: http://bannalia.blogspot.com/2015/06/cache-friendly-binary-search.html

@tardy valve you like optimized things

it is better than a hashmap because it does not need a linked list on buckets

You don't necessarily need a linked list, for example https://www.cs.cornell.edu/courses/JavaAndDS/files/hashing_RobinHood.pdf
