Hi all, At first, I appreciate your insights Craig, but I think I will stick with AlgoDS ;)
Aleksander, I am mostly interested on the sorting algos benchmark and implementation one. I will start writing a proposal soon enough. Do you have any project related insights as to what I should put in there? Thanks a lot in advance!
