Some people in reddit suggest renaming to the repository name. Do you think I should change the repository name? If so, please give me your idea for this repository's name.

I'm wondering whether I should do it.

ref:

Just a heads up that I got a lot random whining from folks about calling ripgrep a "replacement" for grep so long as it wasn't POSIX compatible or otherwise bug-for-bug compatible with grep. In response to that, I added a FAQ item: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/FAQ.md#posix4ever

And I'm not really a fan of calling this "Awesome Rewrite it in Rust." I didn't set out to "rewrite grep in Rust." Not only was it not my intent, but ripgrep is quite literally not a rewrite of grep in Rust in any sense of the word.

May I suggest a rename to "Alternatives in Rust (AIR)"?

I think having a list like this is awesome, just change the name might be good.

"Awesome Alternatives" might be better?

My bikeshed for the rename is "Awesome Rust Rewrites"

Awesome Rust Rewrites

Sounds more accurate.

I think "rewrites" is the problematic word, because it implies preserving the semantics of the implementation too strongly.

Something like "alternatives" would be more in line with "aims to serve the same purpose with a possibly very different design".

I recommend Awesome Alternatives in Rust.
