PerlNavigator VS oh-my-posh

What I'd like to see (unrelated to a Perl 7 or 8) is continued improvement of support for code editors. I've been using https://github.com/bscan/PerlNavigator and it's a real pleasure. I know there are other language servers for Perl as well. It's encouraging to see people working on these tools.

PerlNavigator is by far the best languageserver implementation for VSCode (and other editors)

No problem. I just added support for "method" and "fun" whenever "use Function::Parameters" is present in a file. This include syntax highlighting, outline view, and go-to definition. Commit is here: https://github.com/bscan/PerlNavigator/commit/10938c6d50eb342e1989d51a09b4fba8d023df57

"perl": { "command": ["node", "/home/alberto/.local/share/nvim/lsp_servers/perlnavigator/node_modules/perlnavigator-server/out/server.js","--stdio"], "url": "https://github.com/bscan/PerlNavigator", "selector": "source.perl", "highlightingModeRegex": "^Perl$", "settings": { "perlnavigator": { "perlPath": "/usr/bin/perl", "enableWarnings": true, "perltidyProfile": "/home/alberto/.perltidyrc", "perlcriticProfile": "/home/alberto/.perlcriticrc", "perlcriticEnabled": true } } }

I normally use Emacs. I recently read about this tool that integrates with many editors and was hacked during the latest YAPC. I haven't used it but it looks interesting.

Perl Navigator - Language Server for Perl

There are at least three decent language servers for Perl. I do not run Windows and I am not familiar with it, but I believe the simplest language server to install on Windows is probably perlnavigator. You can also look at PLS. Both of these have VSCode extensions you can download. I don't use VSCode and you don't say what editor you are using, but I know a lot of people use VSCode. Both of these have good support in Neovim if you use that.

# Download the correct binary for Linux (replace the URL with the latest version if needed) wget https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/releases/latest/download/posh-linux-amd64 -O oh-my-posh # Make the binary executable chmod +x oh-my-posh # Move the binary to a directory in your PATH sudo mv oh-my-posh /usr/local/bin/

Tip 2: Use oh-my-posh to customize your terminal prompt and make working in your terminal even more fun.

Initializes oh-my-posh and sets a prompt theme

I use starship (alternative: oh my posh) to get a fancy prompt. Both work on Linux, MacOS and Windows (including WSL), so you can have a consistent prompt no matter where you are.

oh-my-posh for Powershell on any platform.

It's the entire image in the middle. They're using tmux as their terminal. The logo and information is from a neofetch. The information at the bottom looks like it's from Oh My Posh but something similar could be done using something else like Starship.
