This is an academic project.
A library and a sample program will be developed, that will implement the Burrows-Wheeler compressionalgorithm, using C++ and templates.
This is the same algorithm for BZip.
A human-readable ISC-Licensed implementation of the LZO1X algorithm.
...So I'm going to deobfuscate LZO and provide a ISC implementation of this algorithm in Python and C. In addition, I will provide a textual description of the algorithm so that it can be easily ported to any programming language.
I expect a severe performance degradation, but I leave optimizing for speed to other people.
