can ripgrep do replace?

lol. for some odd reason, he's adamant about not adding replace text feature.

fastmod for find replace

if you need find and replace, seems fastmod is a new choice. replacing sed.

turns out, fastmod is not interesting, because it does interactive yes/no. emacs does this some 20 years ago. Emacs: Interactive Find Replace Text in Directory

i have written grep and sed in many programing languages over the past 20 years.

ripgrep is about 2 times faster than xah find go. searching over 7k files on a simple word. (but filtering over about 20k files. only about 7k of them are target suffix .html)
