"NLP++ Version 3: Compiled Analyzers, Faster Execution, and Protected Code" is an article by David de Hilster published on 4 June 2026 on NLU Global, also carried on VisualText.
De Hilster restates what he takes to be NLP++'s distinguishing property — every rule, dictionary entry and knowledge base concept in plain editable text, which is what makes analyzers maintainable in a way regular-expression tangles and black-box neural models are not — and then introduces one-click compilation of analyzers and knowledge bases. He acknowledges the apparent tension with the glass-box philosophy, noting the capability existed in the legacy Windows-only days but was never easy to use.
