“When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” The problem is, you haven't scrutinized the assumptions you're making. For example, ripgrep is written in Rust and Rust is not a dynamic language. In fact, any cursory research on Rust should lead you to the quick conclusion that one of its design goals is to be as fast as C. Rust borrows the "zero cost abstractions" design philosophy that C++ has.
When I first released ripgrep, I wrote a blog post introducing it with benchmarks and a fairly detailed analysis. The blog post is linked in the README. Please read that first. If you still have specific questions after reading that, feel free to ask them here. |

Unsolicited requests to relicense a project are rude. Doubly so when it is addressed in the FAQ: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/FAQ.md#license |
