How to get `fsmonitor--daemon` going with `--no-optional-locks`?
So I have a zsh theme that uses zsh-async to fetch git --no-optional-locks status --porcelain=v2 --branch --show-stash in the background and then redraw the prompt when it's finished, so even if it takes long, regular workflow is not blocked. I saw that git 2.36 added the option to use the fsmonitor--daemon provided by git to speed up git status calls on macOS, so I tried it out.

How do you lazyload or delay loading plugins? Improving zsh and other questions (Or maybe my config is broken)
https://github.com/mafredri/zsh-async this is a plugin that wraps around zsh/zpty to asynchronously perform commands; you can use this do load your plugins.

Extension of _hosts completion function
It heavily depends on the side project https://github.com/mafredri/zsh-async, so I am not sure how the patch would be done

What is the best plugin manager in your opinion?
1.) It's fast. Like, really fast. 1.) It supports deferred loading via zsh-defer 1.) It supports local plugins as well as ones hosted via a git provider (aka: GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, etc) 1.) The codebase is simple and easy to understand and contribute to 1.) It supports git branches (with tag/shas on the roadmap) 1.) It supports partial plugin loading such as loading Oh-My-Zsh plugins and Prezto modules without loading the whole framework. 1.) There's an easy migration path from legacy plugin managers like Antigen/Antibody. 1.) Plugins are managed via a simple plugins file that makes it easy to share your config with others. 1.) And lots more

nvm makes terminal extremely slow to become interactive (WSL1/Oh My Zsh)
I've recently sped up my startup by using zsh-defer which has worked very well. I think nvm (the variant loaded through zsh) also has an option to load asynchronously without something like zsh-defer

What if I told you you don't really need a Zsh plugin manager?
I use zsh-defer for lazy plugin loading and I fork all plugin repos to avoid the same situation as with zinit

zed - yet another plugin manager for zsh. Nothing fancy, nothing new. Just does the basic stuffs - pulls, compiles and loads the plugins... does some completion stuffs. Fairly simple implementation with about 300 LOC. Why? 'cause I used zinit before and it vanished recently... so why not? 🤷🏼♂️
You can use this as a plugin for deferred loading like zinit: https://github.com/romkatv/zsh-defer
