I don't know as much about the internals or performance characteristics of XSV (though it certainly touts performance as a feature), but if you can reimplement ripgrep in Python and get anywhere close to the same performance, I'd certainly be interested to see that.

PyPy is not available everywhere, unlike the CPython runtime or the ability to run compiled binaries.
