  • Magika: AI powered fast and efficient file type identification
    15 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Feb 2024
    I wrote an implementation of libmagic in Racket a few years ago(https://github.com/jjsimpso/magic). File type identification is a pretty interesting topic.

    As others have noted, libmagic detects many more file types than Magika, but I can see Magika being useful for text files in particular, because anything written by humans doesn't have a rigid format.
