Exa · A Modern Replacement for ls

1. exa

   1 131 23,936 3.0 Rust

   A modern replacement for ‘ls’.

   

   https://github.com/ogham/exa/issues/367#issuecomment-4285909...

   ls taking seconds and exa taking 13 minutes :(

   Their website says it's as fast as ls because they do things in parallel but it doesn't seem to actually be as fast as ls in small or large usage.

   I'd also say 200ms -> 1.2 seconds is very noticable.

   I recently wrote ls + cd replacement myself: https://github.com/antonmedv/llama

   It’s a TUI with fuzzy searching, which helps a lot at navigating in complicated file systems.

    I only took a quick glance at the https://asciinema.org stuff. Exa seemed way slower in comparison to ls. Again, I would have to test it myself and see how much it affects me if at all. That said, I do not see a reason to switch to it because ls supports colors as well, and I do not need the added extra information.

    A more colorful, user-friendly implementation of `ls` written in Go
