#2The first reflection of many people on this post is that
we already have tools like grep, ag, pt, ripgrep and so
on, why you create a more junk thing. my answer is as followed:
1. I just need a simpler and more direct thing, just
like "ls" has a lot of options, but I use the most
high-frequency only ls, ls -l, ls -la, so every high-frequency use form Have been aliased, I use the highest
frequency of grep is the recursive subdirectory search,
very high frequency so that I want to create a tool to
do only this thing, and do the fastest and best directly
2. In order to rewrite with Rust, I love C, Ada, Zig, and I want to taste Rust now.

But ripgrep's default mode of operation is to search a directory. That is, `so_stupid_search foo ./dir` and `rg foo ./dir` do the exact same thing. Even better, `rg foo` searches the current directory without needing to add a `./` argument.

Making tools like this fast is not easy. Your tool is approximately two orders of magnitude slower than ripgrep when searching the Linux kernel, for example.

Thanks for your comments, I will stick to optimizing my ugly code for the people who love small and tiny things
