By the way, ripgrep author has a good writeup on performance comprison. https://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/ https://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/
- steveklabnik 8y agoRipgrep is a similar but different kind of tool.
- drej 8y agoOf course, silly me, I take loc and ripgrep to be so essential I conflated them. Too much Christmas merriment, not enough proper thinking. Sorry.
- steveklabnik 8y agoIt’s all good! Have a great Christmas :)
- boyter 8y ago99% the reason I didn’t put ripgrep in there. Ripgrep, sift, Ag, pt, ack solve a totally different problem to scc, tokei, loc, polyglot and cloc. The last 1% was because I didn’t want to have any comparisons made against ripgrep because early in scc’s development I was slightly comparing walk performance and ended up having a chat with burntsushi over twitter. To avoid marking more work for him I was careful to avoid any comparisons, as the last thing we want is him distracted from working on that and other tools.
- ramchip 8y agoRipgrep is heavily covered in a previous article: https://boyter.org/posts/sloc-cloc-code/ https://boyter.org/posts/sloc-cloc-code/
