guid

> "UUID" was already taken by Google. This shouldn't really matter as your import paths are obviously different. `github.com/google/uuid` and `github.com/sdrapkin/guid` can happily coexist. Any file/codebase importing both (which would ideally be avoided in the first place) can alias them. > IMHO "Guid" is just as well known I think the point the commenter was trying to make is that these do not adhere to the UUID spec. You don't specify which version, but judging by the docs and your comparison to `github.com/google/uuid`, I'd wager most folks looking at this library would assume they are supposed to be V4 UUIDs.

In case you missed it, "guid.Read()" is a much faster alternative to "crypto/rand". https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/sdrapkin/guid#Read
