Add kleur and kleur’s author mention to docs as inspiration

[ai]

It seems like the idea of color functions export was copied from kleur:

1. 9 Jul 2018 in kleur: lukeed/kleur@41e4696
2. 11 Jul 2018 in colorette: 0226f47

You should give honor to kleur author and mention him in docs.

I encourage everyone to go through the git history both ways. There was cross-pollination (from both sides). I said it.

These commits go back to when the project was named Clorox, and we still used the familiar chalk-like prototype-based API. Colorette, in its current incarnation, was realized after I switched away from prototypes, at which point it had nothing to do with kleur or chalk, implementation-wise.

Cross-pollination still mean that you need to mention kleur

[jorgebucaran]

You are missing the point. Colorette doesn't use prototypes anymore. It used to. Back then, it also had a different name and it even had a different home in npm. kleur was also prototype-based at the time.

I wouldn't expect kleur to mention Colorette either since its API is entirely different. Both our APIs and implementation have diverged beyond recognition. The only thing we have in common now is that we both colorize terminal text.

I am talking about color functions export like let { red } = require(x). Seems like in kleur this API was 3 days before the Colorette.

[jorgebucaran]

That's not how kleur API works at all.

kleur.blue().bold().underline("foo") // kleur

blue(bold(underline("foo"))) // Colorette

I introduced the current API here. At that point, kleur and Colorette no longer resembled each other. Also, keep in mind that the previous incarnation of Colorette predates kleur several years.
