Zig-budoux: Wrap that Japanese and Chinese text properly

[Cloudef]

I ported budoux to zig (and C)
It lets you find “word” boundaries in japanese and chinese, useful for word wrapping and perhaps even for indexing if you remove the particles.

Very interesting. What would the use cases be for this. Maybe doing some analysis on word frequency?

[Cloudef]

The main use case is for proper “word wrapping” for which I already use it for on the frontend, but on the backend I’m testing it out as a core component for creating search index for japanese text.

Examples from my frontend:

Without budoux (standard browser word wrap)

I see it, very nice!
