At some point when I had trouble loading zlib I wrote a pure Julia implementation of zlib and gzip decompression.
Pros: * Written in Julia. * No external dependencies. Cons: * Only supports decompression and only from a buffer (i.e. no streaming). * Substantially slower than zlib (about five times when I wrote it, current status unknown). * Much less tested than zlib. Is this of interest to someone else, e.g. as a package or as a performance test? The code can be viewed at https://gist.github.com/GunnarFarneback/8254567
