Great and snappy! I would really love the longer blog post...! Two questions if you have a minute: 1) Why suffix trees and not suffix arrays? 2) How are you implementing them? Did you do the tree building yourself or is there a good library that you recommend? Thanks.
I used a suffix tree over a suffix array because I hadn't heard of suffix arrays, but after glancing at the wikipedia page for suffix arrays it seems those might have been a good choice too. I'll look more into it. I did all the tree building myself, and I'll explain that in my post. The post should be ready by tomorrow.
