[erlang-questions] What is the difference between maps and dict in R17

[David Mercer]

Thanks for that clarification.  I had asked on Reddit whether they would be a viable replacement for dicts, and that had been the answer.  Maybe I’ll try maps after all…

 

Cheers,

Maps does not have a syntax for variable keys, that does not mean that you cannot have variable keys. Using the maps module you can add and get any keys you want to a map.

In the long run, maps may probably subsume dict and gb_trees. In the short term they won't since maps currently is not optimized for a large number of keys.

Both of maps and dict are used as map, so when and where to use maps?
