I made a text/language identifier today, in a single C file, with no ML. It classifies a text by checking which reference text a hand-rolled greedy LZ77 compressor finds least surprising.

I got this idea after watching 3b1b's compression is intelligence series for the 3rd time, so i had to make sure i understand it finally. I have my intro to C exam tomorrow, so feedback on the C is welcome. Comments Uβ¦
