Our zlib-rs project implements a memory-safe and performant drop-in replacement for zlib, a widely-used data compression library.

@folkertdev shares the status quo of zlib-rs, including the good news that performance for the highest compression level is on par with the zlib-ng fork of zlib.

Our zlib-rs project implements a drop-in replacement for libz.so, a dynamic library that is widely used to perform gzip (de)compression.

There is a typo you may want to fix in the intro ("Trifecata").

It's funny to note that the typo would change the Latin meaning to something like "three-times shitted", while later in the post you show a benchmarking tool called "poop". 💩😀

@lucab @folkertdev Thanks for the heads-up! Guess the subconsciousness occasionally wants a poop joke... We fixed it anyway though 👍
