Hi Jon,

There's also Neatroff by Ali Gholami Rudi. It has TeX's paragraph
formatting and several other new features, taking from Plan 9,
Heirloom, and Groff. IIRC, it's an implementation from scratch.
https://litcave.rudi.ir links to its introductary PDF in the first
paragraph, https://litcave.rudi.ir/neatroff.pdf, and a Typesetting
section below the change-log.

Cheers, Ralph.
Note that heirloom doctools (on github) is a
SysV-derived *roff
Wow, thanks for mentioning this. I was unaware of it. When
I recently wrote that it would be nice to add TeX's 2D formatting
to troff I didn't realize that it had already been done.
Something new to play with.
