Wasn't ripgrep one of the first inspirations for others to initiate "rewrite existing tools with rust with better usability and performance" wave?

Either way, thanks for a quality tool, more, if it inspired others to come up with good rust tools.




Maybe in Rust. xsv does predate ripgrep though. Maybe ripgrep was the first one to get really popular though. To be honest, I dunno.

With that said, Go tools were doing this before Rust even hit 1.0 as far as I remember. There was 'sift' and 'pt' for "smarter" greps for example, although I don't think either of them ever fully matured.
