- atiedebee 1y agozstd can't really be attributed to Facebook. Yann Collet started work on it before joining Facebook, so it was kind of imported. I am sure it made developing and standardizing the algorithm easier, but what makes it such a good (performant) algorithm is the design of the original creator.
