I vaguely remembered a friend showed me a grep alternative, googled, and found this very useful feature comparison of various tools: https://beyondgrep.com/feature-comparison/

currently testing ripgrep 🙂

@lady3janepl - Interesting...

also turns out that author of silver searcher works on https://floobits.com/ which looks exactly like something I’ve always wanted for pair programming

also, it’s such a relief to be able to use perlre for grepping

*nods* (re Perl RE in grep)

OK, that looks really interesting, but we don't have a mandated IDE in the team

So I use IntelliJ/Cursive, others use Sublime, some use Atom, some vim etc. One uses Emacs in evil mode

If we're using 2 different editors, both of which have a Floobits plugin, can we still pair using it? Or do we both need to be using the same editor?

All can use different editors

That’s why I got all excited

BUT it’s centralised

eyyy

pretty

(you can tell I’m not doing work this week)

this slack is so short - it is less than a week.

it’s got no slack…

:woman-running:

@masta consider Zulip

I know, but I would like all the data would be easily available there as well. so this slack would be closed...

@borkdude we moved from Slack to Zulip and it has tons of memory leaks. In a few hours it goes from 2GB RAM to 6. We have to restart Zulip server every hour.

is that leak only server side or also in the client?

Besides a bit different UI logic (and missing giphy plugin 🤯), we had no problems in client.

@masta at zulip is a searchable slack-archive. See https://clojureverse.org/t/ann-searchable-slack-archive/3777

biggest bummer is zulip is blocked at work 😛

otherwise I would be more active over there

@lilactown Does that affect both the web version and the desktop version? I've never understood companies that block access to developer communities...

I've only tried the web
