It makes me wonder if there was some LLM help, based on how similar the fn structure and identifier names are.

With an entire section complaining how many lines of code existing implementations are, looks like they did found a good simple implementation to clone in Rust then deliberately not mention it.

You could say it was a “puff” piece, eh, eh!?

Even the function names are identical :/

The difference in size seems to be mainly due to the missing documentation before each function.

Oh i didnt even know of this. But i got a lot of help from this one

EDIT: Didnt notice that it’s even by the same person of course it’s very similar

Meh, I've written a gzip decompressor in two lines of shell script:
