It’s interesting how people work. Seeing that section of the readme with a laundry list of alternatives made me want to try fq even more. It tells you that the author actually cares about the problem space.

Hi! yes i'm very interested in binary analysis and decoders in general and fq was not built with the intention to compete or replace anything. I usually use fq together with lots of other tools, they all fill different purposes. The more the merrier!

The listing of alternatives in the README really should be standard practice for open source projects. OTOH, some maintainers don't like to do that when they haven't evaluated the projects. Perhaps they could still add them with a disclaimer though.

Nice! Some other tools and parsers: https://github.com/dloss/binary-parsing

Lots of tools i didn't know about, thanks

You may want to rename that awesome-binary-parsing, having awesome in the URL helps in some circumstances.
