antibody VS fast-syntax-highlighting

If you liked legacy antigen or antibody, and want something lightning fast, I recommend antidote (obviously, I'm biased here)

Hey everyone! I was pretty bummed out when antibody, the Zsh plugin manager I came to rely on, was deprecated last year and went into maintenance mode. It seems like all the Zsh plugin managers we've come to use and love have been disappearing or going into maintenance mode (antigen, zgen, zplug, zinit, etc). Thankfully projects like zdharma-continuum and Zgenom have been popping up to take over where others have left off (for zinit and zgen respectively), and new ones like Znap have come on the scene. But nothing showed up to give antibody users a compatible path forward. That changes now!

I use Antibody for that: https://getantibody.github.io/

Antibody was mothballed. The author now points to other Zsh plugin managers as having caught up in speed to Antibody. See https://github.com/getantibody/antibody#maintenance-mode

I set up my own config instead of using the grml one, so I use antibody for managing zsh plugins, and I use the following plugins:

Antibody is deprecated. Is there any other fast zsh plugin managers? I’m currently using Powerlevel10k’s instant prompt and oh-my-zsh.

I’m concerned because I found this repo https://github.com/zdharma/fast-syntax-highlighting which tries to imitate the old repo (before it was deleted). It’s a fork from the z-shell one. I don’t know if they’re both from the sane owner but I find it sketchy. Also z-shell doesn’t have as many stars as zdharma-continuum.

It might even work with the highlighting you're already using with OMZ, but the demo uses syntax highlighting from: fast syntax highlighting

Even http://zdharma.org/ is gone

I use https://github.com/zdharma/fast-syntax-highlighting which highlights git --version differently than git --asdf. AFAIK it uses the completions to "know" what options are valid.
