    nice summary, most of the tools are written in rust, most of them respect .gitignore etc which is nice. i started using them today, 'bat' is really nice to read markdown on CLI(and other source code), hyperfine is good too. 'exa' is a little too hard to type comparing to 'ls' which I aliased to 'ls --color' and does what 'exa' does, 'z' needs a while to learn before it is useful.
