#2That's what I call quality software.
Re: Ripgrep 15.0
#3the ripgrep codebase is ultimate “pour a drink, settle into your coziest chair, and read some high quality software” codebase. Just click around through it and marvel.

#4Has it caught up to ugrep in terms of backward compatibility and speed yet?

#5Just like fd, I actually enjoy using rg and like these new set of command line tools.

Backcompat with what? ripgrep was, is and will never be POSIX compatible: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/FAQ.md#can...
Aa for ugrep, flipping the question around would be more appropriate. ugrep has caught up with ripgrep in some common cases, but not all.

This seems like an unhelpful comment?
First of all, the ugrep performance comparisons are online (and haven't been updated to compare against this version that was only released 3 days ago). So your question is answerable:
https://github.com/Genivia/ugrep-benchmarks
The two are very close and both are head and shoulders faster than most other options.
And backwards compatibility is a mixed thing, not a mandatory goal. It's admirable that ugrep is trying to be a better drop-in replacement. It's also cool that ripgrep is trying to rethink the interface for improving usability.
(I like ripgrep in part because it has different defaults than grep that work very well for my use cases, which is primarily searching through codebases. The lack of backwards compatibility goes both ways. Will we see a posix ripgrep? Probably not. Is ripgrep a super useful and user-friendly tool? Definitely.)

#8Great tool, and incredibly easy to use. Started with it on Linux, and now use on 'doze too.
Probably the singular reason why I finally use regex as the first search option, rather than turning to it after bruting thru a search with standard wildcards.

I just found out the authors of both ripgrep and fd work for Astral, no wonder Astral makes such great software
Re: Ripgrep 15.0
#10rg is a first for me in that it's a CLI tool that an LLM taught me about -- it's a go-to tool for Claude and codex, and since I got most of my bash skills pre-dotcom-one-boom I'm historically just a grep user.
Anyway I'm trying to retrain the fingers these days, rg is super cool.
