Stumbled across while digging through Github.

Its like cat but has syntax highlight and other cool stuff. Nicely they provide arm and arm64 binaries for lazy people

I already use it on x86 like some others tools by the same author/team: fd, hyperfind and ripgrep. Their softwares are developped in rust and provide nice features and performances.

Do we have balls to add it here
https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/2499

and add alias to cat?  Or is that perhaps too aggressive move?

Or less offensive - adding such nice CLI improvements to this package https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/lib/compilation.sh#L538-L620 hence the name might be changed ...

Yeah perhaps. Shipping as package like zsh is perfectly fine though
