Go devs that learned Rust, what are your thoughts on it?
People have tried. See the_platinum_searcher and sift.

I made grep -- but better

Any Linux admins willing to try Pygrep?
fyi ack is like this but for perl instead of python https://beyondgrep.com/
-
Vim: ZZ and zz: Do you know the difference?
If you just need a single shell command you can do :!. Example:
:!ack "stupid_structure->who_wrote_this_crap.oooohhhhh\s+="
(and if you wonder what "ack" means: https://beyondgrep.com/)
-
Share your little shell functions and one-liners that make your life easier
Ack is consistent with grep but will sensibly handle the recursive stuff for you.
-
Found malware in the source code for my company’s website
Scan the file tree containing the website for the links, or part of tje links, for example with ack which is an easy to use, recursive reimplementation of grep.
-
What is something you want to make, but python is too slow for it?
I've thought about redoing ack in Python but it wasn't any faster than the current Perl.
-
I made grep -- but better
Ever hear of ack it might be a faster alternative.

Ask HN: Can I see your scripts?
No, but thanks for pointing out its existence. Homepage:

Can't run freeze_graph python script, No module named 'tensorflow.python'
(ack comes from ack-grep, a better version of grep, but you can just replace it with grep -r)

Using Ack To Search Elixir Code
I've been a fan of ack for quite some time. Somehow (and I'm not quite sure how) once or twice it's found stuff in source code that VSCode simply misses (likely I was searching wrong with VSCode). And there are a few things I've found that make it even more effective in searching Elixir code that I thought I'd share.

ripgrep: grep but better
Very much agreed. I'm a developer and I honestly prefer ack (https://beyondgrep.com/) myself. But it has the exact same issue. It's not standard.
What are some alternatives?
go - The Go programming language
fzf.vim - fzf :heart: vim
