glinq

glinq (prounced "glink") is an attempt to provide a LINQ API using Go generics. The name uncreatively comes from combining Go and LINQ. Inspired by github.com/samber/lo

Long-term TODOs:

• Implement parallel operations
• Use fuzzing in testing
• Full coverage of functions in LINQ
• Complete testing with code coverage
• Usage instructions and examples
• Cancellation (esp. in channel operations)
• Decide whether to implement container types (e.g. Set) like .NET has
• Use t.Run(tc.name, ...) as the testing pattern rather than the janky string constructions currently in place.
• Consider using literal instantiations instead of make everywhere
• Organize file structure better

LINQ API scheme:

• Aggregate
• All
• Any
• Append
  • won't implement
• AsEnumerable
  • won't implement
• Average
• Cast
  • won't implement
• Chunk
• Concat
  • won't implement
• Contains
• Count
• DefaultIfEmpty
  • not worth implementing?
• Distinct
• DistinctBy
• ElementAt
  • not worth implementing?
• ElementAtOrDefault
  • not worth implementing?
• Empty
  • not worth implementing?
• Except
• ExceptBy
• First
• FirstOrDefault
  • not worth implementing?
• GroupBy
  • is this possible without anonymous types?
• GroupJoin
• Intersect
• IntersectBy
• Join
  • is this possible without anonymous types?
• Last
• LastOrDefault
  • not worth implementing?
• LongCount
• Max
• MaxBy
• Min
• MinBy
• OfType
  • is this possible with Go slices/channels?
• OrderBy
• OrderByDescending
• Prepend
• Range
• Repeat
• Reverse
• Select
• SelectMany
• SequenceEqual
• Single
• SingleOrDefault
• Skip
• SkipLast
• SkipWhile
• Sum
• Take
• TakeLast
• TakeWhile
• ThenBy
• ThenByDescending
• ToArray
• ToDictionary
• ToHashSet
• ToList
• ToLookup
• TryGetNonEnumeratedCount
• Union
• UnionBy
• Where
• Zip

Is there a way to add these methods onto generic slices/chans? Probably not, but if possible, should we?
