zsh is the classic configurable shell. Its most notable configuration set is
Oh My Zsh.
You can set it as the default for your user with:
chsh -s /bin/zsh
You can get my config with:
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
curl -L https://gist.githubusercontent.com/remexre/323bdae66693fb81e2d8002ab0fc2a9a/raw/4b918bb3373d1079d48f7b2669d0fa8da63a527f/.zshrc -o ~/.zshrc
fish is a shell that has a bunch of the above features installed by
default. You can install it with:
brew install fish
echo "/usr/local/bin/fish" | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
After installing it, you can set it as the default for your user with:
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish
To get syntax highlighting for Silver, cd to the Silver directory, then
run:
cd support/vim
./install.sh # if you use vim
# or
./install-neovim.sh # if you use neovimThere's a vim tutorial built in with the vimtutor command. A highly
condensed reference is available
here,
and you can also Google for materials.
There's also a Vi/Vim StackExchange.
To get my (IMO very nice) configuration (while deleting your existing one!), run:
# For vim
rm -rf ~/.vim{,rc}
git clone https://github.com/remexre/vimrc.git ~/.vim
~/.vim/install-vim.sh
# For neovim
rm -rf ~/.config/nvim
git clone https://github.com/remexre/vimrc.git ~/.config/nvim
~/.config/nvim/install-neovim.shA color scheme designer is available here.
Also, try cVim for Chrome and Vivaldi!
If you want to configure emacs, ask Eric or Google; I don't use it, so I don't know much about what's available.

Learn You A Haskell teaches functional
programming in a lazy setting pretty well. We use similar naming conventions
to Haskell, so this can also help you "unlearn" e.g. List.fold_right from
