Existing Rust alternative utils

[baarkerlounger]

Does this project in any way make use of, collaborate with, have a view on existing rust util implementations? For example ripgrep, batcat, fd etc?

[tertsdiepraam]

Not directly, but we use some of their libraries, like ripgrep's walkdir

Other examples:

• clap is also used by many of those utilities. The same goes for other foundational libraries (like unicode-width)
• rust-term-grid is a library from exa (we now forked this library)
• ripgrep and anything else by BurntSushi is a treasure trove of excellent libraries (bstr, walkdir, aho-corastick, etc.)
• We use hyperfineto benchmark the utils, which is written by the author of bat and fd if that counts 😄
