Crate linguist 

Programming language detection library inspired by GitHub Linguist (and using it’s language and heuristic datasets)

This crate provides fast, accurate programming language detection using:

• File extension matching
• Exact filename matching
• Content-based heuristic disambiguation
• Vendored file detection

All language data is embedded at compile-time for zero-cost lookups.
