As promised: detenc, a fast character encoding detector

I wrote about my discoveries with false optimisation yesterday in the context of a fast, low-memory character encoding detector I’d written. I promised to release the code soon, and I’ve now done so.

I’ve written a little about the program on reevoolabs, or you can get the code directly from GitHub in my detenc project.

    I notice you are using Git and Github now, how are you finding the change from subversion / Google Code?

    I’m still using Subversion at work and for most of my personal stuff, and I don’t really have any unsolved problems there.

    I am increasingly interested in the kind of open development models that GitHub is facilitating, and I think that git does work really well for the common situation where you want to build on top of an existing project. I love the new ‘fork queue’ (yes, I see what they did there) feature, in particular—although I assumed that it must already exist, and was surprised that it didn’t.

    However, the reason I put this on GitHub is that I’d originally committed it to our private work repository and wanted somewhere public to make it available. Creating a new project on GitHub is a path of very low resistance compared to most hosting options.
