Show HN: Unicmp – fast universal ordering function for Go

3 points| Snawoot | 9 months ago |pkg.go.dev

Have you ever wanted something `comparable` to be also ordered, e.g. for canonicalization sort or sorted collections? This function uses fast runtime's map hash (with rare exceptions) for comparisons of arbitrary values, providing strict ordering for any `comparable` type.

In other words, it's like `cmp.Compare` from Go's stdlib expanded to every `comparable` type, not just strings and numbers.
