Ag

I’ve been using ack instead of grep for a few months now. And things have been going pretty great on that front. But One Thing Well just pointed at the (unfortunately named) Silver Searcher — which claims to deliver results 3 to 5 times faster than ack.

Mercifully, the command is “ag” and it can be quickly installed via Homebrew. So I’ll definitely be giving this a try soon.
