    21st century grep / find / ack / ag / rg on steroids

  • The examples are all undeniably verbose, but the source shows that many short options are also supported, specifically to copy those you would expect if migrating from the alternatives: https://github.com/lizmat/App-Rak/blob/main/lib/App/Rak.raku...

    So

        rak -C2 foo

  • ripgrep

    ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore

  • BurntSushi (dev) built a grep replacement, `rg` (ripgrep), in Rust, that tends to run circles in terms of speed around grep itself and other grep replacements. The UX is also pretty nice. I install it everywhere now.

    I'm curious (like others here) how `rak` is better than `rg`.
