It's not meant to work exactly like `grep`, if that's what you're on about. If anything, I'd say reimplementing working tools in another language is pointless.

It's like when bands cover songs. Who cares if another band plays the song if they don't put their own spin on it?

So it's more that you don't care for the tool than the language in this case. Although, I invite you to try ripgrep again and/or lay out some of your gripes with it. I find it a very good replacement for grep.
