Thanks, sharkdp, as well as burntsushi. First thing I do on any machine I work with is to install all their tools.

They are reliable, they have excellent defaults and have made me more productive.

I also recommend them on a regular basis.

Always neat to discover that multiple high-quality tools you discovered separately are all written by the same person. I use both bat and hyperfine regularly and had no idea. Now, knowing to look up the author, I've learned about insect and hexyl too!

Fabrice Bellard, klauspost, and bradfitz are three prior examples of this that spring to mind. I'm sure there are plenty more I haven't noticed yet.

Sincerely, thanks to the people who make contributions like this.

Precisely. The “made in rust“ tagline might sound cliché, but when the tools are as good as these ones I start to pay attention!
