## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
gem install textstat
```

Or add to your Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'textstat', '~> 1.0'
```

### Basic Usage

```ruby
require 'textstat'

text = "This is a sample text for readability analysis. It contains multiple sentences with varying complexity levels."

# Basic statistics
TextStat.char_count(text)          # => 112
TextStat.lexicon_count(text)       # => 18
TextStat.syllable_count(text)      # => 28
TextStat.sentence_count(text)      # => 2

# Readability formulas
TextStat.flesch_reading_ease(text)      # => 45.12
TextStat.flesch_kincaid_grade(text)     # => 11.2
TextStat.gunning_fog(text)              # => 14.5
TextStat.text_standard(text)            # => "11th and 12th grade"

# Difficult words (with automatic caching)
TextStat.difficult_words(text)          # => 4
```

## 🌍 Multi-Language Support

TextStat supports **22 languages** with optimized dictionary caching:

```ruby
# English (default)
TextStat.difficult_words("Complex analysis", 'en_us')

# Spanish
TextStat.difficult_words("Análisis complejo", 'es')

# French  
TextStat.difficult_words("Analyse complexe", 'fr')

# German
TextStat.difficult_words("Komplexe Analyse", 'de')

# Russian
TextStat.difficult_words("Сложный анализ", 'ru')

# Check cache status
TextStat::DictionaryManager.cache_size        # => 5
TextStat::DictionaryManager.cached_languages  # => ["en_us", "es", "fr", "de", "ru"]
```

### Supported Languages

| Code | Language | Status | Code | Language | Status |
|------|----------|--------|------|----------|--------|
| `en_us` | English (US) | ✅ | `fr` | French | ✅ |
| `en_uk` | English (UK) | ✅ | `es` | Spanish | ✅ |
| `de` | German | ✅ | `it` | Italian | ✅ |
| `ru` | Russian | ✅ | `pt` | Portuguese | ✅ |

## ⚡ Performance Optimization

### Dictionary Caching (New in 1.0.0)

TextStat now caches language dictionaries in memory for massive performance improvements:

```ruby
# First call loads dictionary from disk
TextStat.difficult_words(text, 'en_us')  # ~0.0047s

# Subsequent calls use cached dictionary  
TextStat.difficult_words(text, 'en_us')  # ~0.0013s (36x faster!)

# Cache management
TextStat::DictionaryManager.cache_size        # => 1
TextStat::DictionaryManager.cached_languages  # => ["en_us"]
TextStat::DictionaryManager.clear_cache       # Clear all cached dictionaries
```

### Memory Usage

- **Efficient**: Each dictionary ~200KB in memory
- **Scalable**: Cache multiple languages simultaneously
- **Manageable**: Clear cache when needed
