How big is it? All you know at this point is that it's at least 16 entries long. If the next line starts with `users[150]`, now it's 151 entries. Next line might make it 2000 entries long. You have no idea until you see the line.

But a map of what? `string -> object`? Ok, the next line is `users[15].flange[15]` which means your map is now `string -> (object|array)`.

Then the next line is `users[15].age = 15` and you've got `string -> (object|array|int)`. Each line can change what you've got and in Go this isn't a trivial thing to handle without resorting to `interface{}` (or `any`) all over the show and reflection to handle the management of the data structures.

All I can suggest is that you try to build `ungron` in Go and have it correctly handle disordered input. If you find a better way of doing it, I'd be happy to hear about it because I spent several months fighting Go in 2021-22 trying to optimise this without success.
