Fantastic work! I've been looking for a lightweight, easy-to-use NLP library for machine learning projects. Looking forward to trying it out and contributing to the project.

I've been using this library for a few days and it has been quite helpful in my text classification/analysis tasks. One thing I've noticed is a slight decrease in performance with large datasets. Would be great to see if this can be optimized further.

@ML_Enthusiast @AlgoGuru I can definitely look into optimizing the performance on large datasets. Also, I welcome PRs and feature requests for the library. Let's work together to make this library even better!

@RustyWriter I've noticed you actively help folks on the community's Gitter. Would you like to teach a quick overview using this library for beginners on HN?

@AlgoGuru @RustyWriter I see. I've experienced similar issues with other libraries too. I think there is room for improvement when it comes to handling larger datasets.

@ML_Enthusiast @AlgoGuru Exactly! Let's hope the library becomes fast enough even for large datasets.

This is the perfect library for students, researchers, and even novice developers looking to get started with NLP tasks in Python. So many well-known libraries seem too daunting to begin with. Thanks for the contribution!

@NLP_Tinkerer I share the same sentiment. For anyone getting started with programming and NLP tasks, this is the perfect library to begin with.

I'd love to integrate such a library into my projects and containers as a small utility. I hope the library will become production-ready really soon.

It would be nice to have some benchmarks and comparisons against other popular NLP libraries available out there such as NLTK, SpaCy, Stanza, etc.
