Is Nim a good language to write Linux TUI applications?
7 projects | /r/nim | 22 Jul 2022

Well i think nim is ideal for TUI programs. The performance of rust with the ergonomics of go is a pretty nice combination. I built ansiwave which is a fairly complex TUI program in nim, and i extracted the TUI stuff into a separate library, nimwave. Whether it is mature enough is a bit subjective but it's mature enough to build ansiwave :P If you try it i'm open to feedback.

I also found that `useState` pattern from React with the variant library a handy pattern: https://github.com/yglukhov/variant and it’s pretty simple to do if you already have a context object: https://github.com/elcritch/fidgetty/blob/f65876af34797f308b...
Sorry for the link spamming, I just find the overlap of UI state management without OO interesting!
