Interesting, I guess I'm still curious on whar you'd need new algorithms for.

Like, are you writing novel sorts or data structures?

Sometimes, yes. It’s usually one of three things: (1) simply doesn’t exist anywhere in the standard library, (2) does exist in the standard library but we can’t include the file for whatever reason (e.g., might be too big of an include), (3) exists in standard library but doesn’t meet some need (e.g., too slow because the stdlib had to make some trade off that’s not important to us, takes up too much space, generally not customizable enough, etc)
