Could you build this?
No Developing an open-source compression algorithm that beats industry benchmarks like zstd and LZ4 in decoding speed requires novel algorithm design, SIMD optimizations, and deep low-level systems engineering.
What it would actually take: Building this requires expert knowledge in data compression theory (entropy coding, finite state entropy, LZ variants) and low-level Rust/C systems optimization. The implementation relies on custom assembly or SIMD intrinsics (AVX2/NEON), cache-friendly memory layouts, and extensive benchmarking suites across various corpora to prove compression ratio and throughput superiority.
