>The only oddity I noticed isthe rather large 68MB binary file committed into master in the repository. Thanks for bringing it to notice. I did this and later realized I can opt for the github release option[0]. I will fix this and the installation url asap. [0] https://github.com/iostreamer-X/FuncShell/releases

In FuncShell – A Haskell-based alternative to awk

Do any of you know how they got such a beautiful looking shell [0]? I'd love to know if there's a clean way to achieve such a nice result. [0] https://github.com/iostreamer-X/FuncShell/raw/master/fsh.gif EDIT As an aside, FuncShell looks like a beautiful demonstration of how powerful Haskell can be. The source code is terse and clean. The only oddity I noticed isthe rather large 68MB binary file committed into master in the repository [1]. Why do people do this? Especially on GitHub where there's support for cutting releases with a binary for each targeted platform... [1] https://github.com/iostreamer-X/FuncShell/blob/master/fsh
