This is a good reminder of just how young of a field compsci still is. Sorting is one of those fundamental things you don't usually think about these days in your day-to-day work. Unless you're an academic, for most practical uses it's a solved problem. Of course there are edge cases like sorting all of Twitter and whatnot, but for most situations, that holds. It's then both exciting and refreshing to see new work still being done on these fundamentals, pushing the envelope where you might've not even known there was anything left to push.
