I wasn't aware! Added it.

Thank you very much for all your work. Your CLI tools are really making a positive impact on the world of development.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

But could you take out the part that says it "aims to kill grep"? That definitely wasn't my intention. grep still has a place. See https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/FAQ.md#int... and https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/FAQ.md#can...

The intended connotation of ripgrep wasn't "RIP Grep" but that it rips through searches, i.e. it is fast. I can't find the comment where he said this but burntsushi can confirm.

Right, yes. It's a common enough mistake that it has its own FAQ entry now. :-)
