Become a sponsor to Andrew Gallant
I am a programmer that has frequently contributed to open source in my free time over the course of 20 years. Today, I primarily contribute to the Rust library ecosystem, and I've been a member of the Rust project since the creation of the teams in 2015. These days, I am on theLibrary API Teamwhere we are responsible for evolving the standard library API. I am also on theRegex Crate Team,which is responsible for maintainingRust's regex library.
In addition to my capacity as a member of the Rust project, I work on a number of other open source projects. Here are a few:
- ripgrepis a program for recursively searching directories using a regex. Its marquee features are speed and using smart filtering by default (e.g., respecting your gitignores) to improve the relevance of the results. Ithas powered VS Code's "search in files" feature since 2017.
- csvis an extremely fast CSV parser library with Serde support.
- walkdiris a library for recursive directory traversal with all of the fi xing s you might expect.
- ignoreis a library that provides a very fast parallel recursive directory traversal implementation while respecting gitignore rules. It's used byCargo,Tauri,Pijul,fdandTokei.
- bstris a library that brings string operations to byte slices. It's used byArtichoke,SQLxandgitoxide,among others.
- memchrandaho-corasickprovide best-in-class SIMD routines for single and multi substring search, respectively.
memchr
in particular is used ubiquitously in the ecosystem.
I also maintain ablogwhere I occasionally discuss my work in more depth.
By providing a recurring sponsorship, you'll help to continue to incentivize my work on the above projects and new projects in the future. Alternatively, one time contributions as a "thank you" for past work are an excellent way to show appreciation. Note that there are no direct rewards provided as I am doing this on the side.
Sponsorships are for me personally and are not affiliated or connected with my employer in any way.
