I wrote a scheme in Rust called Marwood
In the process of implementing Marwood's web REPL, I ported rust's [Rustyline](https://github.com/kkawakam/rustyline) readline library to an Xterm.js typescript addon called [xterm-readline](https://github.com/strtok/xterm-readline/).

Shell.how: Explain Shell Commands
As far as I understand, the autocompletion specs, which is what powers this tool, are the only part of fig that is in fact Open Source

Fig Is Sunsetting
Having contributed to the Fig autocomplete specs, I find this sad. The Amazon product Fig was built into basically works as replacement, which is good. Still, the core value of this product are the open-source autocomplete specs: https://github.com/withfig/autocomplete. What's going to happen to that? It looks like they are still using it in the Amazon product. It should definitely be possible for an open-source re-implementation of the Fig UI to use those specs. There is a lot of knowledge encoded in there!

Fig is awesome but with signups blocked[1] for 2+mo already it's also as good as dead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

AWS CloudWatch Evidently The worst. No comment. AWS seems to perpetually lack a good DX for developers. It appears that they don't recognize or continually undervalue the importance of roles other than engineers, such as Product Managers or Designers. Very disappointing. However, AWS has recently acquired Fig, so looks like they're now pursuing an acquisition strategy instead. Let's see how it turns it out, and let's hope they don't ruin Fig, since it's such an useful tool.
