enz / unz

UPDATE: added support for zip-compatible symlinks. enz works exactly like zip by default storing linked files, using the -y switch to store links only.

enz and unz are a zip-compatible compressor and decompressor pair that beat zip -9 on source code by 5-10%. Uses smarter pre-processing before DEFLATE.

It's often better than the alternatives for text, source code, structured text files, and markup.

Pure Go. No dependencies beyond stdlib. Output works with standard ZIP tools where possible

Benchmarks available.

A since-deleted Substack post
titled “Why I Joined DOGE,”
written by engineer-bigot #Gavin #Kliger,
noted a key influence was an essay by #Ron #Unz
—an infamous figure who has written about race science;
donated money to the white nationalist website #VDare, which according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, is a hate group;
and has been accused by the Anti-Defamation League of “#hardcore #antisemitism,” including Holocaust denial.
Kliger has already been in hot water. He also reportedly reposted white nationalist #Nick #Fuentes disparaging a Black child on his now-private X account

DOGE worker says he was radicalized by reading writer who denied Holocaust

In a since-deleted Substack post, a member of Elon Musk's team praised an essay by Ron Unz—who has called the Holocaust potentially a "hoax" and said Trayvon Martin was "a violent young thug."
