Is it too early to use Zig for CLI tooling ideas?
3 projects | /r/Zig | 5 Jun 2023

I think zig might actually be the best language for CLI if it had a charm ( https://github.com/charmbracelet/charm ) like eco system

Writing TUI with Ratatouille
2 projects | dev.to | 25 Jun 2023

Most answers were a code-golf style with writing the full functionality in least number of lines of code. I took a different approach. Since some time already I wanted to try out Ratatouille - an Elixir toolkit for writing TUI (Terminal UI), based on termbox.

If you want to go lower-level, then I would recommend against ncurses, and instead start with notcurses or termbox. termbox has lots of language bindings, but the author is no longer maintaining it. Still, not a bad place to start from. If you do decide to get into ncurses, this doc can get you over some of the humps with keyboard/screen/mouse.

Alternatively, there's termbox: https://github.com/nsf/termbox (minimalistic). Or prompt_toolkit: https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit (huge).
