Genius sorting algorithm: Sleep sort

Man, am I a genius. Check out this sorting algorithm I just invented.


#!/bin/bash
function f() {
    sleep "$1"
    echo "$1"
}
while [ -n "$1" ]
do
    f "$1" &
    shift
done
wait

example usage:
./sleepsort.bash 5 3 6 3 6 3 1 4 7

I consider myself conversant with 4chan, and I had no idea that the dis subdomain existed.
I always wondered if there was a chan for hackers...now I realize there is. And oh boy, what a chan it is.
Boy is he in for a surprise when he finds out /prog/ is just a bunch of autistic undergrads with a hard-on for functional programming.
