    Don’t need the Ord instance for equality, just Eq is sufficient. Ord is for inequalities.

    The point of the post is that most mainstream languages don’t provide a way to automatically derive point-wise equality by value, even though it’s pervasively used everywhere. They instead need IDEs to generate the boilerplate rather than the compiler handling it.
