Ask HN: What libraries does go have for building interactive shells?
Do you want to build an interactive shell or a cli tool? For a custom shell I have used https://github.com/chzyer/readline before, but I did not work on it a lot.
I also wanted custom completions based on context and this readline implementation was decent for that.

Just ordered the C2 as my first mechanical keyboard
On first glance, it seems like the Mac layout would be less convenient with Linux due to the alt/option key being further from the spacebar and more awkward to hit with your thumb. This makes a lot of commonly used keybindings (such as the standard readline keybindings, https://github.com/chzyer/readline/blob/master/doc/shortcut.md, commonly used in bash and other shells amongst other applications) harder to hit. Linux GUI applications use alt/option more frequently than super/command as well.

I switched from macOS to Linux after 15 years of Apple
but that's the readline shortcuts which are the same no matter which Unix terminal you are using, on macOS, Linux, cygwin, git bash, WSL...

Picnic-TUI - Where Go and Groceries Create a Command-Line Feast
Spotify-TUI was developed in Rust, therefore I couldn’t simply use the same UI framework. Within Go a popular choice is tview https://github.com/rivo/tview which provides many similar UI widgets which covered all my needs.

Recommendations on building a simple DSL REPL?
The jist of what I did: The TUI lib I used was https://github.com/rivo/tview. While technically a TUI, it didn't look like one. Tui gave me components for user input, context-aware output formatting, and configurable hotkeys and command shortcuts. History was just an in-memory string map bound to a hotkey.

Help to find a terminal library
tview is built on top of the tcell library mentioned in another comment. I liked it so much that I forked it as cview.

WhatsApp in the terminal
A tui client for WhatsApp. My first ever go project!!! As a very slow learner I am really proud of how far I could bullshit my way through it. I used tview and whatsmeow for this.

Need a TUI with multiline text input or good interactive CLI-interface style support
After a user request cycle, however, the tview textarea widget is now in active development so stay tuned!
