antibody VS zgenom

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.

If you liked legacy zgen, zgenom picks up where it left off and is simple but featureful

zgenom for zsh plugin manager. I've found this one to be fastest when compared to others since it generates a static init script

Author of Antidote here. I want to start by saying u/MrMarlon did a great job with znap, and it's a solid choice. zcomet and zgenom are also great. For modern Zsh plugin managers that are actively developed, I'd say these are my top 4 picks.

Plugin managers: ZI, Zinit, Zpm, Zgenom, Zgen (after and if the PR will be merged).

Have you had a look at zgenom?

Would you mind listing zgenom instead of/additionally to zgen? It's a maintained fork of zgen which has received some bug fixed and new features 😊

Or zgenom[0]. Or if you want to get ESPECIALLY froggy and async with your shell startup, zinit[1]. I ran zinit for years before moving to zgenom. A large swath of electron apps use some weird NPM library to “resolve” your shell environment by kicking up a full interactive shell and then reading the environment variables out of it. zinit messed with that and would hang a lot because of all it’s async loading.
