Shoutout to Burntsushi

He knows how to keep a good changelog https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/CHANGELOG.... it’s good to read through and see the progress.

He also cares about ergonomics as well as performance which I like. I find it much more easier to use than existing Grep tools.

Interestingly, I believe Ripgrep started off as a test harness to benchmark the Rust Regex crate (he was the author of that). It was originally not intended to be a consumer cli. I guess he dogfooded it that well it became a successful tool
