Windows Terminal
I have been testing out all sorts of terminal applications on Windows like CmEMU, GitBash, CMDer and many others and frankly, working inside it with Elixir leaves a lot to be desired from working in Terminal on MacOS and Linux.
Now Microsoft has release a pretty cool Windows Terminal, and working in iex is exactly the same. No tab complete, no formatting to speak of, no colors. This is such a big feature of working in IEX.
Is there a push or interest in making the Windows Terminal more useful, or is there some switch or configuration that I am missing?

Wow… A stripped down chrome(ium) just to display some textual information… Yes, that one needs a lot of memory for sure…
I’m pretty sure there are a lot of alternatives that’d work as well as hyper and use a lot less memory…

In CMD you can just do this:
iex.bat --werl -S mix
It opens a new window which has tab completion at least. Colors though, no.
