I think I remember seeing it on this community. It was a darkly colored video. It was mostly focused on UX design, and the guy was talking about pretty innovative features with auto completion suggestions and undoing and things like that. Does anyone remember it or have a link? My search was fruitless.
Fk if I know, that describes every shell. But new trends include https://starship.rs/ and nushell. Just use zsh tho, it’s perfect, always has been
Performance has left the chat.
Performance of what, zsh? C ain’t good enough anymore??
I ditched ZSH a long time ago because it wasn’t snappy. From what I remember, things like autocomplete, syntax highlighting, etc were written in ZSH and not build in. In something like Fish it is build in and it felt much faster to me.
Yes, performance of zsh. Idk if it’s a bug, a language issue or just a downside of having more features but it is slower than bash
It’s not because of features, since fish has tons of stuff as well and is super snappy. Someone pointed out most of those extra features are implemented in zsh itself, rather than in C, like core features.
If you want snappy, replace your terminal instead. Kitty is probably as fast as they get
Zsh is solid
Last time I tried starship (a few years ago), it was pretty bad, very sloppy performance, not async, at least on fish. I ended up sticking with the simple, yet effective hydro. Maybe I can give starship another try, but honestly don’t know if I even need all those bells and whistles…
Yeah I sure don’t, have been happy with my prompt for a decade
