I'm comfortable choosing sorting algorithms for a computer. Choosing a sorting algorithm for a human seems much harder. For example, suppose you want to sort a shuffled deck cards. Quicksort seems too fiddly for a manual process with a relatively small (52) quantity.

I miss the usize type when I'm not coding in Rust. I find distinguishing between 'an integer representing a quantity' and 'an integer representing an array index' to be very helpful sometimes.

I'm acquiring a taste for the Rust numeric types. usize usually represents an index, i64 a quantity, and Wrapping<u8> an emulation of hw.
