Very cool! I'd like to share another global optimization algorithm 'worth using' that I've recently discovered for myself: Hyperband [0]. It's extremely simple to implement (i.e. a dozen lines of code), is based on successive halving principle and is particularly suitable for iterative machine learning algorithms where early stopping is applicable (i.e. NN, GBM).
