And I was hoping that was referring to this hyper: http://hyper.rs/

Typesafe HTTP implementation? Meh. I go back and forth on stringly typed vs strong typing. Just this weekend I wrote an app in Objective-C instead of Swift, and it's already close enough to 1.0 that I can start using it myself. I originally tried to do it in Swift but the IDE support is just way too lacking and buggy (still!) compared to ObjC. Point being, string-typing and dynamic typing aren't really all that terri…

Optional typing is the sweet spot.

I have been using using Hyper kinda since the beginning and eventually switched back to iTerm because it's way faster if you use it all day long. Maybe they improved performance with this version, I will see.

I tried iTerm and then Hyper, and didn't really see how either benefited me over Terminal.app so I stuck with that. But these days I do most of my development work inside Emacs, and the vast majority of my Terminal.app usage has been replaced by either a first-class Emacs plugin (like Magit[0] for git) or Eshell[1] within Emacs.

The main thing for me is split panes, but I don't primarily use an editor like Emacs that can do split panes, and I never bothered to learn tmux (iTerm does have neat tmux integration though)

Windows support is really appreciated! I just switched from a MacBook to a Surface Book, and the biggest pain point has been finding a good terminal to replace iTerm2. I'll definitely try this when I get home!

Try out conemu https://conemu.github.io/ for windows. Its great because I prefer to use git bash on windows, and you can default it and switch easily between that or powershell or cmd or WSL

A lot of people suggest CMDER these days. Looks like it is a fork of ConEmu.

Erm... What is it? I've clicked through several pages and still don't know, aside from the fact that apparently it extends the command line in some way. But I might just be missing something.

It's a shell (think iTerm2 like) built using Electron (aka web technologies in a native wrapper).

It's a terminal emulator that's configurable/extendable with JS, HTML and CSS.

Ah right, split panes are pretty nifty. Very easy to do in Emacs and convenient too. When I'm using Terminal.app, I just use two windows and place them side-by-side if needed. But most of the time a single windows suffice for the small things I'm doing.

It's not a shell, it's a terminal emulator.

A shell is the program that handles the words you type into your terminal emulator.
