This compressor is by a certain Fabrice Bellard, an overactive overachiving powerhouse of a programmer who happens to be leading the Large Text Compression Benchmark https://www.mattmahoney.net/dc/text.html, which is maintained by Matt Mahoney who happens to run the Hutter Prize :)

Fabrice also makes some programs you might use, like FFMEG and QEMU

Fabrice hasn't worked on ffmpeg for a very long time now, the main developer is Michael Niedermayer. (Or was last time I checked.)

> FFMEG

For those unaware, it's a typo. willvarfar meant FFMPEG.

This would be the one sentence that wouldn't cause me to look down on somoene, if used as a third-person humble-brag.
