Comment on: Bringing down my ZSH load times from ~3.1s to ~230ms
Thanks.I use a rather complicated zsh prompt, complicated enough so that I could never convince bash to execute an equivalent prompt correctly, despite the fact that the features used by the prompt are supposed to be supported in bash too.(The prompt syntax is quite different in zsh and in bash. This is the zsh syntax of my prompt: PS1=%F{cyan}"[%T %n@%m:%~]"$'\n'%#%f
)As you say, to be able to write the prompt I had to study carefully the zsh manual.However, I consider this a minor disadvantage, because I have written the prompt many years ago, when I have switched from bash to zsh, and I ha
