>If you as a normal software engine write a topological sort algorithm you likely failed your job. Your job is to use existing topological sort algorithms designed by people specialized in that area, implemented by people which are specialized in implementing and fine tuning algorithms (it's its whole own field of expertise, and overlooked field tbh.). What standard library ships with it ? I can remember multiple times I've need to implement topological sort in various languages - mostly to detect if there are cycles between dependencies or order actions, it's rather simple, introducing a third party lib for such code is in the leftpad territory and writing a generic interface to generalize graphs would be clunky in a lot of languages.
