Code

The code for my rewrite of Zopfli from C to Rust lives on github at carols10cents/zopfli. The state it was in for the Techfest and FP meetup talks is preserved on the techfest branch; any work done after the talk will be on the master branch.

Resources that I drew heavily upon while preparing for this talk:
