> The modern data compression is mainly based on two approaches to entropy coding: Huffman (HC) and arithmetic/range coding (AC). The former is much faster, but approximates probabilities with powers of 2, usually leading to relatively low compression rates. The latter uses nearly exact probabilities - easily approaching theoretical compression rate limit (Shannon entropy), but at cost of much larger computational cost.

  Jelly is a recreational programming language inspired by J.

This is a basic version of many commonly used ideas for string compression in golfing languages. Jelly [0] is a good example of a more practical and versatile approach that builds on ideas such as this.
