pdqsort
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

EzGz - An easy to use single header no dependency library for decompression of .gz archives written in modern C++ (probably faster than zlib)
You may be right about this. I'm actually mainly concerned about including as just including it can increase binary size substantially, see e.g. https://github.com/nholthaus/units/issues/32

C++ lib for handling SI units
I personally use, and recommend, the units library by Holthaus: https://github.com/nholthaus/units

- Pattern-Defeating Quicksort (Pdqsort)

Faster sorting algorithm
I found that this exists: https://github.com/orlp/pdqsort

How sorting algorithms work
Their sort_unstable algorithm is based on this pattern-defeating quicksort.

Timsort – the fastest sorting algorithm you’ve never heard of
Closely related is pattern defeating quicksort ( https://github.com/orlp/pdqsort ), which adapts quicksort to take advantage of sorted runs. I've adapted a few quicksorts to pdqsort and seen good speedups (as people were often sorting partially sorted data)
Basically: Timsort is to mergesort as pdqsort is to quicksort
- I tried creating a sorting algorithm in C language.

Discussion Thread
I was thinking of optimal C++ over native types. I just spoke up because if your intuition of quicksort is that 50k elements should take 20ms you’re drastically underestimating computer performance. They’re crazy fast and optimized sorting algorithms are downright scary.

Beating Up on Qsort (2019)
Just for fun, I added pdqsort to the benchmark:
https://github.com/orlp/pdqsort
Here are some of the results on an Ivy Bridge hackintosh:
size, qsort, inline, sort, stable_sort, pdqsort, radix7 -
Which sorting algorithm did you implement in your programming language?
sort_unstable is a pattern-defeating quicksort (https://github.com/orlp/pdqsort) added with RFC#1884 (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1884).
What are some alternatives?
