ART is an elegant way of thinking about the problem of index representation. I've been using ART variants for almost 15 years now. The algorithm was somewhat common in supercomputing/HPC (used to index some types of sparse data models), which is where I originally came across it. In addition to being performant, ART is considerably more expressive and flexible than people might assume.
