zlib-rs and libbzip2-rs are Rust re-implementations of zlib and bzip2, two very popular compression libraries. The Rust implementations have comparable performance to zlib-ng and libbzip2, respectively. Since the libraries are written in Rust, they should have significantly smaller surface areas of memory unsafety.

I'm going to close this for now. I'll be proposing using zlib-rs in a Rust implementation of the zlib module so my time will be focused there. |
