> Never claimed that was the case. Whether you claimed it is not in question. You're saying "[color in the terminal] is the work of the devil", which has a clear intent to dissuade people from coloring terminal output. Which, frankly, is insanity. Most apps do it well nowadays: --color=auto/always/never, usually defaulting to auto. So when GP says "not everyone is you", they mean be considerate. If you want color off…

"Catered to", "dissuade", "push that choice" and "insanity"?

Now this is just getting silly. You are taking my comments far too seriously.

just gugel it

Heh, just "ied" will give you this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvised_explosive_device "ied package manager" works, though.

Normally, I am not a fan of replacing words in the search engine with computer science stuff (think AJAX), but I can accept computer words replacing words that symbolize violence.

I don't even want color and terminal graphics done goodly. I code with two monochrome terminals on the screen using vim and the command line.

Thanks for sharing! As an undergrad, I had a 14.4 kbps modem, and an amber WYSE terminal. With that, I was able to do contract work. It reminded me of the amber monitor I had on my Apple II ten years before. A solid phosphor CRT with no shadow mask is a fine thing. Colors on a modern LCD are great too; give it a chance!

I have a soft spot for those short-lived X-terminals as well. The golden age of computing.

Colors are great for web browsing, don't get me wrong. Just not near my code!

Even more important, npm doesn't reliably reproduce builds. Different runs of the same shrinkwrapped build could either fail or succeed -- which is odd given that builds should be deterministic. Additionally, shrinkwrap is also broken in the same way. This is the first time I've heard of ied, a little competition could go a long way!

That's frustrating, I got bitten by that a couple of times. I'm wondering when will they add a LOCKFILE like every other build system out there :'(

I agree, but I'm curious what other build systems have a lock file?

Ruby does through bundler, who else does this right? I can't think of any.

You don't use syntax highlighting?

No, never had a need for it.

Mix, Erlang's package manager (used by Phoenix / Elixir)

Cargo, Rust's package manager

Meteor

I posted this below, but I'll post again here for visibility. What the heck is up with npm install on iTerm 2? I had no idea something was weird until recently, when I did an install with Termial. Here's a side-by-side video: https://youtu.be/odoVfHHBYVM

Weird I'm seeing the left result in iterm 2 on my work mac

These come to mind: rebar3 (Erlang), mix (Elixir), composer (PHP), elm-package (via elm-stuff/exact-dependencies.json).
