We called this ASCII art and figlet when we were young. These keywords appear nowhere in the Git repository.

  Cool? Meaningless though

  Also on any Linux distribution you will find figlet available from the default repositories. :) http://www.figlet.org/ http://www.figlet.org/

  Many of the .flf files in https://github.com/arsham/figurine/tree/master/bin https://github.com/arsham/figurine/tree/master/bin mention figlet etc in their comments.

  figlet + lolcat = figurine I'm interested in the rainbow library (which does reference figlet https://github.com/arsham/rainbow/blob/master/README.md#see-also https://github.com/arsham/rainbow/blob/master/README.md#see-...), but only to see if it's any faster than the painfully slow Ruby implementation of lolcat.

    Well, the name came out of nowhere (sorry!). As for comparison with ruby, all I can say is figurine is a single binary, whereas ruby's lolcat requires ruby's VM. There are a couple of benchmarks and you can run them with: $ go test -bench=.
