Feature request: "eval" function

[eddyg]

Thanks for zcomet! It's easy to use and understand, and seems fast too.

Hopefully this idea is easy to understand.

Similar to zcomet snippet, it would be nice to be able to cache the output of slow commands that are normally eval'd. For example:

zcomet eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
zcomet eval "$(pyenv init -)"
zcomet eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

Open to other suggestions / alternatives, of course!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Have you tried using mroth/evalcache? I haven’t tried it myself, but it looks as if it should do what you need.

This is great! I was manually caching these kinds of things to files, like a chump :)

source "${HOME}/.local/share/zcomet/zcomet.zsh"
