notty VS brick

Declarative terminal graphics for OCaml

As some can guess, the architecture was heavily inspired by Elm and Elmish parent-child patterns. Notty - is a cool library, which is a perfect choice for a simple terminal draw. But keep in mind, that you will be responsible for focus management and isolation of all event handlings. Sqlite3-OCaml - is totally imperative library, because it is just bindings on C library. But you get all the essential functionality with which you can build yourself the needed level of abstraction.

Thank you!

"stash", the initial MVP version, is written in Haskell. I chose Haskell mostly because of https://github.com/jtdaugherty/brick, which is a wonderful TUI library. I also tend to prefer functional programming languages when I have the choice.

However, Text 's backend and website are currently implemented in Clojure. The app is in C + Flutter (Dart).

Brick? Hadn’t heard of it so leaving for myself and others

Brick is a great library for terminal applications. I’d say start with the examples or take a look at some tutorials that use it, then just go at it.

Thanks. Yeah I was surprised myself at how much of a capable tool whiptail turned out to be. Especially since I'd heard it has issues with returning values, or not being as capable as dialog. I was actually in the midst of choosing between it, Haskell's brick, or python's PromptToolkit, yet settled on whiptail to see how far a bash approach could take me.

Written in Haskell with brick.

A declarative Unix terminal UI programming library written in Haskell (by jtdaugherty)

There is brick[1][2] for Haskell. Other languages may have something similar.

In that vein, a declarative way to build (Text) UI like html+css. Or something along the lines of what Brick is for terminals.
