To fork on that subject... I was very 
"gperf-like-perfecthash-friendly" for years but nowadays I use 
[lookuptables](https://gitlab.com/styx-lang/styx/-/blob/master/src/styx/string_switch.sx?ref_type=heads). Very fast too. You have Trie or suffix arrays that are very fast too but they tend not to be memory friendly.
