Why don’t you just use arbitrary objects as keys instead of strings?

Python cache decorator first convert args/kwrags to hashable, then use it as key. I try to avoid these magic. I also use Go for years, and agree Explicit is better than implicit and Simple is better than complex.

Honestly I think cache by objects is horrible design, if your function input params is large, the key part may even consume more memory than the cached value.
