Maybe before we spend a lot of time complaining about how federal prosecutors are unsympathetic assholes, we should start by examining our own community.
Heather, I agree that people are unnecessarily rude to you. Don't sob. Your code shows you are already a more capable programmer than most of the ones I interview. No one has given you a clear answer as to why your code is reinventing the wheel, so allow me to do it politely. I took every single example from your README, and show you below how everything can be reimplemented with sed -r (nice extended regex syntax, m…
To my (naive) eyes, your examples act as a compelling advertisement for her library. The sed/xargs/etc. examples look increasingly like impossible-to-memorize line noise to me, while the --include, --exclude etc. options in `replace` are comprehensible and seem to follow standard command line argument practices. Again, this is from a very entry-level unix tools perspective, but there it is. It also seems to me that r…
does that make a difference?
(honest question)

Here's the thing, when someone like Linus Torvald says things like that, we applaud him for it.
Linus doesn't say things like that. If you don't understand the difference of context, well, look again!

Am I the only one who finds replace's syntax much nicer? I haven't spent much time learning unix utilities, so that might explain it. But I can't help but shudder at find . -type f ! -name ' .min.js' ! -name ' .py' -print0 | xargs -0 sed -ri 's,var,let,g'
She was able to simplify her command line interface in order to support only the features she needed, so of course her syntax is nicer. Whereas sed/find/xargs can do a lot more things, so of course they come with a more evolved syntax. It is the usual tradeoff between simplicity and features.
There is only one case that justifies reimplementing things
Or, um, how about the one that goes "I felt like it"? That's sufficient justification in my book.

Nice stuff.

I've used CLI tools for years, and it would probably take me 5-10 minutes of scanning the man pages to reproduce all but the simplest of those snippets. Granted, this boils down to the sporadic use-case, but that's the entire point.
The replace examples are all clean. It would mean I would not be juggling little peculiarities of arcane syntax, such as which sed flags to invoke, or whether to use exec or xargs.
