  • Interactive CLI Crates

    Are there any good crates out there that more or less match the functionality of Grumble? I've got several rust applications networked together and like that I can write a lib for each one to share functionality. However, my user interface is in Go and it feels like I'm duplicating an immense amount of logic as the API continues to get built out. Would be nice to just move it all to rust so I can simplify duplicating all my rust structs in go. It'd be a shame to lose the nice CLI interface I get from Grumble though.

    I want to build a command line tool with context-sensitive completion. This is important because it allows interactive exploration of the options -- both of the application and of the current data model -- available to the user.

    So far this is what I've found.

    I would like to know people's experiences and recommendations in building such an app in go.
