Not a problem, but it's still a valid question. I'm all for people writing alternatives to existing tools. I've done so myself multiple times. But when you start promoting your alternative, "so what's does it do better?" is a very reasonable question for other people to ask. After all, they are the ones who need to invest time in learning the new tool, perhaps add it as a dependency in their tool chain/work flow - with all the downsides that has.

The readme states it is ~3 to 5 times faster. And it seems to have a more beginner friendly syntax.

I am not aperson who just has to use the newest and gratest for the sake of it, but I’d take ripgrep/rg over grep whenever I have the choice.
