Comparing Maps

Equality checks

You can't compare maps directly with ==. In Go $1.21$ +, use maps.Equal:

import "maps"

a := map[string]int{"x": 1, "y": 2}
b := map[string]int{"x": 1, "y": 2}
fmt.Println(maps.Equal(a, b))  // true

In older versions, compare manually by checking length and each key-value pair.
