im gonna install my own reformatter to reformat it back on my machine, win-win

The default sorter does that, because that way it can sort pretty much anything without breaking at runtime.

who the fuck decided that not breaking at runtime was more important than making sense?

this js example of [1, 3, 10].sort() vs [1, 3, 10].sort((a, b) => a - b) will be my go to example of why good defaults are important

who uses utf 16? people either use utf 8 (for files) or utf 32 (for string class O(1) random access)

yay
