Do any of you know how they got such a beautiful looking shell [0]? I'd love to know if there's a clean way to achieve such a nice result. [0] https://github.com/iostreamer-X/FuncShell/raw/master/fsh.gif EDIT As an aside, FuncShell looks like a beautiful demonstration of how powerful Haskell can be. The source code is terse and clean. The only oddity I noticed isthe rather large 68MB binary file committed into master…

zsh + oh-my-zsh + agnoster zsh theme + powerline

I always have mixed feelings on awk alternatives. I find awk to be one of the most underused tools in scripting. Awk has saved me numerous of times. Now replacing latex with a modern syntax would be awesome!!!

I tried to explain to a historian with an open source textbook initiative the basics of latex. As soon as I opened the demo page that had looked nice enough, with him by my side, my heart sank. It's just so far away from being usable by non-technical users. It's too bad, really.

A good theme and sharelatex.com can go a long way to get someone to use it. I usually only get Math Majors to invest in it.

I did almost all my Master Theology papers in it. Just difficult to use different languages. I usually have to use one or all of these Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Latin, Danish or German in my papers. Latex didn't make that easy. Actually nothing does.

Also, the font is Adobe source code pro.

I used sharelatex.

the notation full of \, {, }, etc. is just too confusing for people.

That's a pretty standard zsh with oh-my-zsh prompt: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh Scroll down a bit and you'll see it. Though I personally prefer zsh with prezto, because oh-my-zsh feels too bloated and heavy: https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto

Prezto is abandoned. If you absolutely need a framework go for Zim, although I like the simplicity of Zplug and adding plugins or themes as I need them.

It doesn't get much purer than pure - https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure

The repo doesn't seem abondoned to me.

I stand corrected. Hadn't looked there in a while because the repo owner/maintainer had dropped off the grid for the better part of a year. Can't beat Zim it's speed though.. its even faster than Zplug despite Zim being a full framework and Zplug only a bare plugin manager.
