I've worked with text and in my experience all of these things (soft hyphens, emoji correction, non-latin languages, etc) are not exceptions you can easily incorporate later, but rather the rules that end up foundational parts of the codebase.

That is to say, I wouldn't be so quick to call a library that only handles latin characters comparable to one that handles all this breath of things, and I also wouldn't be so quick to blame the performance delta on the assumption of greenfield AI-generated code.

no disagreement. i never claimed uWrap did anything more than it does. it was not meant for typography/text-layout but for line count estimation. it never needed to be perfect, and i did not claim equivalence to pretext. however, for the use case of virtualization of data tables -- a use case pretext is also targeted at -- and in the common case of latin alphabets, right now pretext is significantly slower. i hope that it can become faster despite its much more thorough support for "rest of the owl".
