Description

I created today a project analogous to this one at https://pypi.org/project/gnosis-date-parser/. This currently only performs the fuzzy date parsing, and not other capabilities of dateparser. However, it does manage to be several thousand times faster by being a thin binding on Rust crates.

If you have any desire to follow similar enhancements, or even use those I made, you are more than welcome to. I believe my README took pains to speak highly of your project, which is really solid and admirable.
