A tool like grep, aimed at programmers with large trees of heterogeneous source code.
I’ve used ack when searching code for a while now and to be honest, don’t miss grep one little bit. Thoroughly recommended.
It certainly does its job well. I like it.

Urban Mainframe is the personal website of Jonathan M. Hollin. It consists of an eclectic collection of links carefully harvested from the farthest corners of the Internet, a couple of self-penned articles - and the occasional hint of humour.
