Dig, but in Rust (github.com/ogham)

Add this one to my list of command line tools that Rust has improved to the point where I consider it noteworthy: (ie not just Rust for the sake of being written in Rust; must be materially better)

- htop

- ripgrep

- fd

- tealdeer

- dog


htop is written in C: https://github.com/htop-dev/htop


Maybe they meant to mention "bottom" instead? https://github.com/clementtsang/bottom


Eventually some of those tools, being universally useful, should be installed by distros by default. I think rg and fd are great candidates (the fact that grep and find exists isn't an impediment; unix traditionally had sed and awk alongside grep)


surprised not to see fzf

also someone showed https://github.com/console-rs/indicatif/ recently (a tqdm like progress bar)
