I like how all those rust/go implemented, fast, cross-platform tools are starting to get mainstream. (ripgrep's another great one). Really useful if you're a programmer preferring Windows but mainly using Unix tools and developing for Unix OSes. By the way, I've been using xsv when analysing 8 GB csv's (the Amazon review dataset) and have been nothing but happy with it.

I'd be curious how it stacks up against Microsoft's LogParser[0]. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logparser https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logparser

Ripgrep is by the same author, actually.

  Yup, I know. Actually, the official regexp implementation in rust (underlying ripgrep) is written by him, too.

>I like how all those rust/go implemented, fast, cross-platform tools are starting to get mainstream. (ripgrep's another great one). Both xsv and ripgrep are by BurntSushi, and ripgrep was mentioned twice on HN recently, once in a release note thread, IIRC, and another time in the CLI: Improved thread. Both were mentioned before too.

  Crazy, I know, but some people don't read HN 24/7.

    I don't either :) I just happened to have read those earlier threads because of interest in the topics, so thought of sharing the info that I did.

Hadn't heard of rg before, awesome! Perfect counterpart to sharkdp's alternative find: https://github.com/sharkdp/fd https://github.com/sharkdp/fd
