Rebuilding the spellchecker, pt.3: Lookup–compounds and solutions
Great tool, it was my first contact with spellchecks. Back that I was working for a company that does translations powered by machine learning. Back then I was a student and as the article mentioned I was one of the naive ones to think that a spellcheck is an easy thing to build.

I wrote this originally in python, then I ported it to go. Back then I had plans to improve it. I believe that the most erros would be due to miss press of keys. I was sketching an algorithm to find similar words given a dictionary. Soon I had to deal with other projects (from college) and I let the spellcheck to the smart people.

Rebuilding the spellchecker, pt.3: Lookup–compounds and solutions
For what I know (I've mentioned it in the first part[0]), the nspell[1] is the most close to "port (some) of Hunspell", and typo.js[2] ports even less (but might be enough for some, we used it in my previous company: it uses dictionaries for lookup, but uses its own simplistic suggest, which I needed to tweak a lot).
SymSpell algorithm (which is quite different, I'll go into it in the next part to some extent) is much easier to port, so there is a JS SymSpell port[3] (which seems abandoned though).
