I with just released about 2 years of work on improving compression with a fixed encoding LZ77 style compressor for #golang
Our goal was to improve compression by combining and tweaking the best aspects of LZ4 and Snappy.

btw, I found the graphs in the README confusing: the first few make it look like Snappy is almost as fast for much better compression, but later Snappy drops to the bottom on speed, and it's not clear what exactly the difference is…
Snappy doesn't have concurrent stream compression, so it falls behind in speed there. TBH it doesn't have too much relevance other than wide compatibility.
So 86% means the final size is 14% of the original? I guess I should have figured for text 🙂
I think "Reduction" without the extra text actually is clearer. I will re-export the ones with the confusing text.
