Hi, author here! My motivation for this was mostly that I was using powerline-shell, and after reading the recent discussions on HN on shell and prompt-latency, I realized, hmm, I am actually unhappy with the performance. So, over the course of one night, I decided to port it to go, and the first version’s performance is in a simple test (just holding down enter) quite good: https://s3.kuschku.de/public/2017-08-21_16-43-41.mp4 https://s3.kuschku.de/public/2017-08-21_16-43-41.mp4 Since then I added a few features (Docker Segment), fixed a few bugs that existed already in the python version (depending on the shell, it might interpret folders that are named like /tmp/$HOME/$(uptime)/`uname`/$CWD.txt), and am generally quite happy with it. I’m always open for suggestions, though :)
