Festoon was in 2e Plan 9. I think the papers they're
generating are more readable than festoon's. The
general sound of everything is more plausible. For example,
the conclusion that was accepted:
IV. CONCLUSION
Here we motivated Rooter, an analysis of rasterization.
We leave out a more thorough discussion due to resource
constraints. Along these same lines, the characteristics of
our heuristic, in relation to those of more little-known
algorithms, are clearly more unfortunate. Next, our algorithm
has set a precedent for Markov models, and we expect that
theorists will harness Rooter for years to come. Clearly, our
vision for the future of programming languages certainly
includes our algorithm.
