A ZSH theme optimized for people who use:

• Solarized

Binary Data

It can be challenging to use Ruby for handling raw binary data, involving a lot of Array#pack and String#unpack with the possibility of String#ord and Numeric#chr for good measure. Some of these tools might make the job a bit easier, allowing your to define schemas of the binary data and how to parse it, or even just allowing your to specify the format in a more verbose way.
