Announcing Lingua 1.0.0: The most accurate natural language detection library for Python, suitable for long and short text alike
Python is widely used in natural language processing, so there are a couple of comprehensive open source libraries for this task, such as Google's CLD 2 and CLD 3, langid and langdetect. Unfortunately, except for the last one they have two major drawbacks:

Opensourcing Whichlang, a fast language detection library for Rust!
This looks cool, and it’s good to have a pure-Rust option available now, but I wonder, have the authors considered binding CLD2? (It looks like a crate exists for it already, but it is deprecated.) It was originally developed as the language detector for Chromium (to do things like selecting the right spell check language), optimized for speed and size. It may be a bit dated (Chromium no longer uses it), but it is small and easy to use. I’ve used it with great success in a past project.
