Memoization in Go (en.wikipedia.org)

I'm curious what people are doing for memoization in #golang. I've looked around and haven't found great libraries for this which makes me wonder if I'm pursuing the wrong solution to a problem.

Caching the return values of functions based on the params has been useful to reduce load on downstream services, make things a bit faster on average and even add some level of consistency in functions that can be highly variable (which is an odd use case but nonethelass useful). But maybe there's a different pattern/idiom that's used in the Go ecosystem?

I suppose I should be clearer on the features I want. I'd want to be able to store my cache in memcached or redis and I want the cached data to expire. So for one call, I might want to keep it for five minutes, but another one can stick around for 24 hours.

The memorize package falls down there.
