Why HN links it

Linked as the original author's post about a Hilbert curve function, which was ported from C++ into the Flatbush JavaScript spatial index. Commenters point to it as the source of that code.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
