An Aussie with a bad cough? Nope, just a really fast way of searching a Textmate project. From ack’s description:
ack is a tool like grep, designed for programmers with large trees of heterogeneous source code.
And ackmate lets you run ack from within Textmate. You can grab it here – if you like it, make sure you leave Mr Protocool a tip, too.
For a version 1.5 application, Textmate more than holds its own against any of the heavyweight text editors. Allan Odgaard blew the dust off his blog a couple of days ago to assure his audience that the highly-anticipated version 2 is, in fact, under active development.
Allan’s a talented guy. Textmate would be an impressive achievement from a team of developers, let alone one guy working in a tiny wooden shack on the side of a mountain. Which is how I like to imagine Allan working.
