@worldofpeace Could you add the haskell tag?

@billksun Are you interested in trying to package this? It will probably need to be packaged similarly to the other Haskell tools that don't come from Hackage. A good example would be the vaultenv package. Try grepping for vaultenv in nixpkgs to see how this is packaged.

If you're not interested in trying to package this, I (or someone else) could try to take a stab at it.

However, it would be easier to package in nixpkgs if it was actually released to Hackage (and even better, stackage). Would you be interested in trying to persuade the author to make a release to Hackage?

some initative https://github.com/rdnetto/powerline-hs/issues/15. I've recently been using https://starship.rs/config/#command-duration

@teto, wow thanks for letting me know about starship! I've been using it for the past few days and I like it better than the powerline variants! Much cleaner and minimal design. I'll close this request, since I think starship fits my preference better.
