1980s... but like 2020s-style. Coming next: auto-complete for punch cards.
can you expand on this?
Y'know, because it's not like tons of people use the terminal on a daily basis in the modern era. /s
I'd be curious how this compares with Fish, which has autocomplete as well. It's worked fantastic for me so far. Once you have it, it's hard to go back!
This looks much cooler than fish autocompletes imo. But this replaces the nice fish stuff with `>` as a prompt, so I'll stick with fish.
Co-founder of Fig here! Just want to say that I think this is awesome. It’s really cool to see alternative implementations of IDE-style autocomplete in the terminal. Nice work!

100ms is a long time to wait for each completion suggestion.
I was going to say the same thing. In what world is 100ms fast on a computer? (for something not making a network round trip)

I tend to think since VSCode plugins are javascript all new tooling from Microsoft seems to be written in typescript. As a non front end dev though `npm install` is an instant turnoff for me.
I agree. I was going to install and backed out when I saw `npm install` as well. I am wondering if my priors need to be updated, though (namely: JavaScript is slow, inefficient, and unsuited for anything outside of webdev).

I feel like I've trashed millions of files I shouldn't have with `rm` and trying to be clever with regular expressions.
I've done this enough times I use `ls` first, then `rm`

Generally, a destructive shell command prompts for approval. But I suppose overfumbly fingers could still cause grief. Type/command aware tooling is a night and day difference.

Don’t bring TypeScript into this. It is very possible to write sub 100ms procedures in TS, but an inelegant algorithm will be slow in any language, eventually.

is inshellisense for average users like me or more advanced users?
