I started using antigen for my dotfiles (https://github.com/js-coder/dotfiles) a while ago, and it's really awesome. However it does make sourcing `~/.zshrc` pretty slow.

#12Just for reference, Mat Schaffer has had a similar project for about a year, same basic goal: https://github.com/matschaffer/zundle
He also uses it to build a nice default zsh profile here: https://github.com/matschaffer/zsh-matschaffer

that seems like a big disadvantage, considering how often it is sourced in a working day

Thanks, I appreciate the heads up. I prefer the Vundle style approach personally but options are always great :)

#16Woah, the hackernews effect is quite impressive. The github project more than doubled in stars (now at 280) over the past 6 hours since posting this.

There is some work on trying to speed things up, check out https://github.com/zsh-users/antigen/pull/37 (or my fork, https://github.com/wrboyce/antigen) [edit: fix typo]

#18Author here.
I'm late here, but if there are any questions, I'll answer.
Seeing the github stars shoot up, I guessed HN happened to the project. Here we are :)

Antigen can pull plugins (or modules as prezto calls them) from prezto too. This is a recently added feature which might break occasionally. I personally don't use the prezto loading features in Antigen.
