I just discovered bhoogle a few years too late and it just doesn’t get enough love
@haskell #sideProject It’s a TUI wrapper for hoogle done right. @andrevdm 's blog post: https://www.andrevdm.com/posts/2022-09-07-bhoogle.html
Would be so cool to have something like this for Nix (with appropriate accommodations for packages and NixOS modules, and some Flake search too).
(Actually, bhoogle is stuttering a lot with some queries - looks like the TUI rendering and search happen in a single thread. Not cool.)
Thanks for explaining what it is without making us click something. Using @hoogle on Freenode #haskell is all the TUI I need ;).
Wait, is #haskell still on Freenode? I thought they migrated to libera.chat during the Freenode collapse
Sorry, I meant libera. Forgot about the switch.
@haskell @balsoft yeah “done right” was maybe somewhat generous. It’s apparently meant to be more of a pet/toy project, so there’s no multithreading indeed. I believe the author is willing to accept PRs on the matter
