Wait wait ... what are the unicode characters for that cloud and lightning bolt? That looks awesome.

Author here, unfortunately no thunder on Mountain Lion :( [1] It's from my zsh theme: https://raw.github.com/igorgue/oh-my-zsh/master/themes/igorg... I stole it from the cloud theme and another theme that I don't remember. The thunder lights up when the program doesn't end property (return 0). [1] http://wiki.xkcd.com/irc/Heart_Thunder

Inspired! Did you come up with that part?

Haha yes.

This is the code add it at the end of your prompt:

    function thunder() {
        echo "%(?,%{$fg_bold[grey]%}⚡%{$reset_color%},%{$fg_bold[yellow]%}⚡%{$reset_color%})"
    }

And Perl's JSON::XS echo '{"hello":"there"}' | json_xs

Or for pretty colors, try Data::Printer echo '{"hello":"there"}' | perl -MJSON -MDDP -E '$f = decode_json readline; p $f'

Is there a colored JSON dumper in Perl?

alias pjson='pygmentize -l json'

I'm curious how the author managed to learn the pygments library without learning it already provided a command. This script can be replaced by

alias pjson='pygmentize -l json'

If you're passing it the file name, pygmentize will figure out the lexer to use, e.g.

pygmentize foo.json

pygmentize bar.rb

It's only when you have it read from stdin that you need to specify, e.g.

pygmentize -l json < foo.json

If this is based on pygments, is it reasonable to have a command like this that works on everything pygments knows how to highlight, and plugs into a bunch of pretty-printers / reformatters, e.g. GNU indent? Is there an equivalent of pygments for pretty-printing all the things?
