I developed a similar tool but focusing on maximum performance and optimizations like low level syscalls, multi threading, hybrid io (read + mmap), SIMD optimizations, native implementations for linux, macos and windows. 📈 it's completely free and opensource. Though it's under development, the first beta release is out. would appreciate some feedback :) This is just a small project I made for learning and experimenting with maximum performance one could gain while scanning files, loc and detecting extensions. I did use AI to guide me for best implementations and research for most components of my project. But I implemented, tested and benchmarked many separate implementations for every component myself and only kept the best (fastest) ones. 🙃 Check
