Embedding TeX Hyphenation Patterns for 30 Languages in a 1.1 MB Rust Automaton (2022)
Summary
A technical deep-dive on embedding TeX hyphenation patterns in a small Rust automaton via the hypher library, focusing on zero-allocation design, compact encoding, and performance comparisons with the hyphenation crate. It explains the theory behind hyphenation patterns, tries/state machines, encoding schemes, and practical benchmarks.
