Ripgrep – A new command line search tool • Hacker News Board

I'm not terribly familiar with Rust's story on ARM, but I do know there are people working on cross compilation. I'll see if I can hook it up to the CI later today. Certainly, there's nothing in ripgrep itself that should prevent it from working on ARM.

Why not make --with-filename default even for e.g. "rg somestring" ? That seems like it could hinder adoption since grep does it and it's useful when piping to other commands.

Is it enabled when you specify a directory (rg somestring .) ?

Thanks for the detailed comparisons and writeup.

I find this simple wrapper around grep(1) very fast and useful:

nice, but does it compile and run on armhf? I don't see any binaries

I cross compile my home automation sever that I wrote in Rust to ARM. It should work.
