Termonad Is A Terminal Emulator Configurable In Haskell

Termonad is a terminal emulator that is interesting because it can be configured using Haskell. So it's perfect for those of you that want to practice Haskell or already have other Haskell programs installed (like Xmonad or Pandoc).

Your support is very much appreciated. Thanks, guys!

I am a big Haskell fan, I don't use it for work, but it offers a radically different and powerful view on programming, so it's really rewarding and fun. Thanks for sharing this and I look forward to more Haskell related videos on your channel.

When you get better,
you could port GIMP to Haskel.
and call it...

Good stuff, I was not aware of this terminal emulator. Thanks for sharing. I am interested in learning more Haskell.

[byranotieno]

Gentoo users are no strangers to comping from source so it should be a breeze for them

[SteveDaley]

DT, I have probably zero interest in learning Haskell (honestly don't know any programming language but wished I had taken the time to learn one), but I would watch a series of Haskell tutorials if you did them. Really, loving the content lately, and your two most recent vim videos are definitely my favorites. I don't program, but I do write and edit config files in vim everyday.

Doing anything in Haskell is my idea of torture, but it's cool you're covering all the angles.

Welp my entire computer is becoming Haskellfied now. First XMonad, and now this.

Next is going to be a text editor configurable in Haskell.

What I am looking for is a fast functional programming based shell language (instead of bash, sh, etc.) - so one that uses the power of modern type-safe functional programming languages and its well-defined semantics and crips syntax, instead of these confusing and dreadful shell languages... However, that run as quickly as a shell languages. Scala has some nice REPL interfaces that you can use as, of course you have the nice and powerful Ammonite, but these are slower to start-up commands than plain shell interpreters (right?). Any tips?

[paulo]

dt, you should give the *haskell-turtle package* a try, it lets you do shell programming in haskell.

[МихаилГолод]

Thanks DT. Currently using kitty as my terminal, but will definitely check this one in the future ^_^

[simonwhelan]

I like how it's configured but I find that the font rendering isn't as nice as with ST. This is because of antialiasing and autohint being enabled in ST but I can't find whether this is possible to do in termonad.

[evanrelf]

Very cool that you're learning some Haskell! If you enjoy what functional programming brings to the programming language table with Haskell, you may be interested in Nix and NixOS. Nix is a functional package manager, and NixOS is a Linux distro managed using Nix. You can define a system completely declaratively using a config file; it's _very_ cool.

It'd be useful if you also talk about unlimited scrollback support and performance, text wrapping on window resize, and search capabilities too.

[raymondgradzewicz]

For that timed tree root test, why not pipe that in to lolcat to test the speed differences of terminal emulators?

[bijeshmohan]

When I was scrolling through Medium articles, I found an article about 'Hyper Terminal Emulator'. When I checked their website, it looked impressive and promising. Can you give it a try?

[sheikhshakilakhtar]

Thanks DT. Please do a tutorial on XTerm someday.

[zoltantoth]

You mentioned that you plan to learn Haskell. I am a Haskell enthusiast, advocate. Haskell is the best programming language. If you find it difficult or just want to chat with someone about it then contact me and i will try to help.

[lucascruzdosreis]

Dt, could you put the link you used to show unicode characters in here?

[watkinsishere]

Even though I do think this is cool, it's interesting to keep in mind this might seem like a quick terminal emulator but this is running on 64gb ram, 12 core thread ripper, that is to say, everything would run quick on this lol
