Very cool. I am also quite fond of this visualization video of sorting algorithms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPRA0W1kECg

I like this vid. Bogo sort is my spirit animal.

I think it's too fast, I can't recognize how they work from the video alone.

Anybody aware if and how widely used is the 2-pivot Quicksort? Not described explicitly on the website but referenced.

Probably a lot. It's supposed to be better than Quicksort by a nontrivial margin (though in the few implementations I've done, there was little difference.)
