New sorted container library for TypeScript, useful but niche and not AI/cloud focused.
Summary
A new TypeScript library, sorted-collections, provides SortedList, SortedSet, and SortedMap using a bucket-based design inspired by Python's sortedcontainers, achieving O(log n) insertions and O(√n) positional access with zero dependencies (~2KB gzip). Bulk construction can be up to 3x faster than per-element insertion for SortedMap at one million entries, and custom comparators are fully typed. The package is gated by publint, arethetypeswrong, and size-limit in CI, but for small datasets a plain array with .sort() remains simpler.
