  • asdf

    Extendable version manager with support for Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, Erlang & more

    • Project mention: Install Asdf: One Runtime Manager to Rule All Dev Environments | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-27

    The main issue most people have with asdf is that itโ€™s annoyingly slow. Not unusably so, but just enough that itโ€™s irritating.

    I identified [0] the source for much of it (sub-shells and pipes) and began a PR [1], but became bogged down with BATS testing, and then found mise / rtx, so kind of lost interest. Sorry. You can always implement these if youโ€™d like.

  • prezto

    The configuration framework for Zsh

    • Project mention: Carapace: A multi-shell completion library and binary | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-22

    Beyond zprof (https://www.bigbinary.com/blog/zsh-profiling) not really I'm afraid. I did the majority of my zsh-prompt hacking 10 years ago and haven't thought about it since. That snippet could be from anywhere.

    You could peek at something like zprezto https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto or pure https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure for tips.

    Fetching git/hg/... info is always slow, so try and speed that up where you can (as to how to do that, uhh... I know my prompt has a dirty-state check nicked from pure for speed reasons). You can also cache any `asdf init zsh` or similar to a file and do the same "run in background" trick so the next shell will have any changes.

    The biggest improvement I can remember was dropping zprezto for my own much smaller config, I really did not need much comparatively. Mostly some git info and "good default" options. I use zgenom for a plugin manager but only have 3 plugins, probably I should just dump it and inline the plugins to avoid getting owned one day.
