  • Ask HN: What libraries does go have for building interactive shells?
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Jan 2022
    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.

    Your question is a little unclear. For any serious command prompt, it becomes almost required to build one from scratch as libraries tend to have too many constraints that prevent advanced use cases.
