Show HN: Simdgrep is a file grepper not written in Rust

3 points by coyove a day ago

simdgrep is written in plain C, works like 'grep -rinE' out of box, with multithreading and gitignore filter.

My sloppy testing on Linux shows a slightly better result compared to ripgrep, but it varies because of software and hardware jitters, on macOS (sonoma) simdgrep sometimes performs worse.

More benchmarks are welcomed.
