You need to define how to order things in other languages (though not in languages where you can automatically derive implementations like Haskell or languages with built-in polymorphic comparison like OCaml) but you don't need to define how to swap elements over and over.

Yes, I'm aware. That's the clunky part that I was referring to (although, you can still avoid it for slices, and simply pass a single compare function.)
Go is far from my favorite language, but the sheer amount of bad criticism by people that clearly don't use the language annoys me.
