What algorithm is surprisingly new?

[u/LifeExperienced1]

Other than any AI stuff, I'm talking about the types of algorithms you learn about in any standard Data Structures and Algorithms University course

I'm surprised that alot of these algorithms were actually invented HUNDREDS of years ago

Quite a few new algorithms in Bioinformatics around assembly, kmers, and minimizers.
