Thanks for the kind words. I don't know much about openVMS. I read your profile bio. I'm not sure I quite grok all the details, but I would like to caution you:

Thanks for the kind words. I don't know much about openVMS. I read your profile bio. I'm not sure I quite grok all the details, but I would like to caution you: ripgrep is still, roughly speaking, a "grep." That is, it exhaustively searches through corpora. While it has some "smart filtering," it's not going to do much better than other tools when you're searching corpora that don't fit into memory. I do have plans to add an indexing mode to ripgrep[1], but it will probably be years before that lands. (I have a newborn at home, and my free-time coding has almost completely stopped.)

hi! thanks for your reply, and notes gratefully taken! in fact it's avoiding touching memory that's important for vms clusters since the model is shared storage but nothing else. the language support hopefully leans towards implementating a initial subset to poc. there's a serious problem going forward for the vms fs with a major adoption and migration from ODS5 recently abandoned. where my thinking is going is towards extending RMS the record management system which was extended to become what's now Oracle RDB. RDB still uses RMS and behaves cooperatively with fs tools and semantics. without more concentrated contemplation I'm stretching to venture there's a text search tool in the making, but I can say that is going to be carefully investigated and I imagine quite quickly because of the potential. halving licence costs per cpu and going from 8 to 28 cores with features separately very expensive in Oracle iXX.X is behind a lot of new commitment. Because everything is obedient to the system TM, that'll require integration, but let you run the ripgrep function on the raw database from low memory clients ~ so my tentative elevator pitch is going..
