@emily_s AHHH OMG THIS IS SO COOL
@emily_s i have a parallel directory traversal crate which is faster and more configurable than the ripgrep ignore crate (which uses walkdir for single threaded iteration) but it's not done yet
@hipsterelectron @hipsterelectron Thanks!
And thanks for the idea of having the config functions make a tree. That made this much more fun :D
If I get to the point that I'm worried about the performance of walking the directory structure I'll call that a champagne problem as clearly this has got a bit out of hand
@emily_s i will tell you i have spent months on the directory traversal crate in order to achieve meaningful perf improvement on massive inputs. useful for very fast parallel zip archive creation and potentially almost nothing else
@hipsterelectron also probably useful for making one of those file system visualisations that show you where all your disk space has gone.
@emily_s i'm also p sure the tree structure was your own insight
@emily_s walkdir's clear semantics are what you want in this case though and its impl is rock solid
