This is pretty cool and I appreciate the comparison to par2. I have a (personal) backup workflow using par2 now, and this looks like an interesting replacement.

The dependency for doing erasure codes is itself pretty interesting[1]. It has a number of backends. I've used one of those, ISA-L, in the past at a major storage vendor for Reed Solomon parity blocks.
