Matt Holman talking about ASSIST https://github.com/matthewholman/assist: ephemeris quality integrator. Why build another orbit fitter? Most are FORTRAN based/dependent on JPL database (which is great, but opaque and they're not allowed to share code).
Tested by integrating real asteroids forwards and backwards, and through hard close approaches (like Apophis-Earth 2029 close)
Fewer settings for user to change (like which body dominates), all built in
