There was this article posted a while ago that used a Stern-Brocot tree and/or floats for ordering: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16635440 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16635440 It doesn't work in the pathological case though as any float has a fixed number of bits, and I see the article has been amended with a note.
