Looking for Kotlin Console UI libraries that work in IDE Terminal
I'm currently using Picnic and Mordant which are working nicely. I've tried out Kotter and Text-IO, but they either open a Swing terminal or require you to run a `.bat` script or something.

> Many languages have libraries for ANSI color support and pretty printing, but no other language has Rich:
- I've created a small library for interactive CLI UI called 'kotlin-inquirer'
- A TUI library for Kotlin?

What’s your most used tech stack?
For most CLIs, Kotlin with https://ajalt.github.io/clikt/. Would consider Go if it's a small project where portability is important, but 90% still Kotlin

Building Command Line Interfaces with Kotlin using picoCLI
picoCLI is one of the many options available to you to create CLIs on the JVM. Other possibilities include Jakarta Commons CLI or Clikt if you're using Kotlin.

New Project: CLI to transform Excel spreadsheets to JSON (in Kotlin)
For CLI programs in Kotlin, I suggest taking a look at kotlinx-cli or, especially, Clikt, for idiomatic Kotlin code without annotations and such. Of course, after having already written the program, you're most likely not gonna switch that out, but I just wanted to inform you about that.

Tracking Twitter User Behavior - The Overview
To analyse the data, I again used Kotlin and combined 3 incredibly helpful tools: clikt, es-kotlin-client and plotly.kt. But more about that later.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing mordant and clikt you can also consider the following projects:
kotlin-argparser - Easy to use and concise yet powerful and robust command line argument parsing for Kotlin
kotlinx-cli - Pure Kotlin implementation of a generic CLI parser.
picocli - Picocli is a modern framework for building powerful, user-friendly, GraalVM-enabled command line apps with ease. It supports colors, autocompletion, subcommands, and more. In 1 source file so apps can include as source & avoid adding a dependency. Written in Java, usable from Groovy, Kotlin, Scala, etc.
