I am curious what people think about that. It's still around 30k lines of code made by a known malicious entity, looking at git blame. However it seems mostly fine?
* plural "they" ;)
If someone wants something done right, FSVO right, they can do it themselves.
The math and algorithms behind it are fun to learn but hard. And then you need to implement it both performant and correct.
Only a few people build up the algorithmic background to do this. And the gains once an implementation is there are marginal (optimizations).
The only larger one seems to be zstd, and I haven't wrapped my head around ANS/tANS...
