Overview of the Benchmark
The provided benchmark compares the performance of three sorting algorithms: Ramda's R.sort
, JavaScript's native Array.prototype.sort
, and Lodash's _.sortedUniqBy
.
Options Compared
diff
) to sort an array in ascending order.bigArray
) to determine uniqueness.Pros and Cons
Library Used
The benchmark uses Ramda, a functional programming library that provides a simple and expressive way to manipulate data. In this case, R.sort
is used to perform the sorting operation.
Special JS Feature/Syntax
None are mentioned in the provided code snippets, but it's worth noting that the use of a custom comparison function (diff
) is an example of using a higher-order function (a function that takes other functions as arguments) in JavaScript.
Other Alternatives
If you're looking for alternative sorting algorithms or libraries, here are some options:
Keep in mind that the choice of sorting algorithm or library ultimately depends on your specific use case, performance requirements, and personal preference.
