I'm disappointed he isn't releasing the source for these or LibNC. We definitely need non-academic, non-Python machine learning implementations. Anyone know what's up with that?
But as someone interested in the guts, or understanding how to implement new types of systems, it can be quite overwhelming!
Arithmetic coding with LM conditioned probability has been done before and it's not a particularly complex idea to implement, I don't think it is critical that the code be released.

There are two things here: training and serving/inference. We already have non-Python implementations for the latter and I don't think we're in "definite" need of the former.
