Golang: convert slices into map

Use a for loop:

elements = []string{"abc", "def", "fgi", "adi"}
elementMap := make(map[string]string)
for i := 0; i < len(elements); i +=2 {
    elementMap[elements[i]] = elements[i+1]
}

runnable example on the playground

The standard library does not have a function to do this.
