       | Both ripgrep and fd offer easier usage. The ripgrep is also an
       | ack replacement and fd can also replace parallel (even has
       | compatible syntax). The amazing part is that both are an order of
       | magnitude faster their counterparts. The ripgrep dev has extended
       | analysis for how this is achieved on their blog[0].
