Luiz recently received a recommendation about Harper, a new grammar checking tool developed by Automattic using Rust.

The project’s repository describes Harper as meeting the developer’s specific requirements: it is the grammar checker that meets your needs, analyzing documents in milliseconds with minimal memory usage.

Key features

• Fast performance: millisecond-level analysis
• Low memory usage: less than 1/50 of LanguageTool’s usage
• Complete privacy: runs locally, without sending data to servers
• WebAssembly compatibility: can run on multiple platforms
