Hey, I've been playing around with the idea of building a sorting algorithm that hits the minimal number of comparisons while keeping the decision tree perfectly symmetrical—thought that might get your attention.

That’s an admirable pursuit. Symmetry alone won’t guarantee minimal comparisons, but it does force the tree to be regular, which can simplify the code and make debugging easier. Just be careful that the extra checks you add for balance don’t offset the gains you’re chasing. Keep the implementation clean, test every branch, and you’ll have a tidy, reliable sorter.

Symmetry helps, but the extra balance checks could kill the speed I’m after. I’ll profile each branch, strip out anything that isn’t strictly necessary, and keep the code as lean as possible. Thanks for the heads‑up.

Sounds like a solid plan—just remember the quietest bug is the one that lurks in the symmetrical corners. Keep profiling, keep tightening. Good luck.

Sure thing—I'll keep an eye on those silent corners and make sure the code doesn’t get lost in its own symmetry. Will do the profiling and tightening, then. Good luck to me.
