I'd say POSIX is sometimes overrated. Example: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/1e70e82baa91 https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/1e70e82baa91 Any

Anyway, I don't see any of that as a reason for not having ripgrep installed everywhere by default and as an argument for not using it.
- grandempire 2y agoIt doesn’t matter if it’s over or underrated - what matters is if you want to be compatible with existing code and documentation. I wish C didn’t have strtok, but it’s too late.
- shmerl 2y agoI don't specifically want to be compatible with it, no. I mean if ripgrep works for my needs - I'll use it and won't worry if it's POSIX compatible or not.
- grandempire 2y agoGreat. But we don’t need it in base.
- shmerl 2y agoThat's what I don't necessarily agree with.
