Arrays and Slices in Odin

We can use enum member names as indices for a fixed array.

  Nice_People :: enum {
      Bob,
      Klucke,
      Tim,
  }

  rating := [Nice_People]int {
      .Bob = 5,
      .Klucke = 7,
      .Tim = 3,
  }

  bob_rating := rating[.Bob]

We may also skip initializing the enumerated array. Then, all of them would be zero-valued.

We can also do partial initialization. All non-mentioned items will be zero.

  nice_rating := #partial [Nice_People]int {
      .Klucke = 10,
  }

ALthough it provides methods like append(), but in essence, it’s a fixed array with maximum capacity and automatically keeps track of the length.
