  1. Elvish is modern shell with a nice scripting language. We've had shell integration support for it in Ghostty for a while.

    One area where our shell integration falls a bit short is OSC 133 semantic prompts. Elvish's hooks and prompt functions unfortunately don't provide enough customization to build a reliable OSC 133 implementation.

    So instead, I've implemented OSC 133 directly in Elvish, which also has the advantage of benefiting all terminals.

  2. @rl_dane I've been getting into a shell called Elvish. elv.sh/
    It lets you pipe around structured data like you find in modern programming languages, like arrays, maps, floating-point numbers, and the like. As well as normal POSIX byte streams.
    It's not compatible with POSIX shells like Bash though, BTW.

  3. I'm trying out the #KittyTerminal emulator with the Elvish shell. #ElvishShell

    I think this is like when dudes of a certain age buy a Harley and go on a road trip?
