Beautiful colored unicode output. But why on the Earth it's implemented in bash/awk? It's completely unmaintanable and unfrendly for contributors. Just look, how GitHub syntax colouring gives up on 46 line of prettyping script. I mean, that it doesn't sound like a right tool for the job, and argumentation, that it can be just curl'ed and executed doesn't sound like a good one. curl'ing binaries is not the way systems should be configured, while packages is. And if software is packaged, then it doesn't actually matter (from installation usability standpoint) will it use bash/awk or more convinient language for implementation (python, golang, whatever). But it will make huge difference for maintaining and further development of software.
