Is there a way to have a full TUI desktop environment?
For telegram, you could try something like tdlib-purple along with finch. It's basically the console version of pidgin if you've used that before, and it was really quite nice when I last used it a decade ago. :)

Telegram desktop from debian stable repo is too old to use, literally, it won't let you log in. Is there any plan to update it before the next stable release?
There is also a pidgin plugin tdlib. Works for me.

Why Telegram had to follow Apple and Google when they suspended a voting app
Yep. And not only bots - 3rd-party clients are much better tolerated compared to wa/signal.
Telegram has a clean, compact 3rd-party client that just works: https://github.com/ars3niy/tdlib-purple/
Signal has arcane, bloated (multiple dependencies, requires Java), and brittle client library https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-signal (there are other semi-abandoned projects)
WA 3rd-party clients are flat-out dead: https://github.com/davidgfnet/whatsapp-purple (and bunch more, all dead, or half-dead) Plus, WA would ban people they suspect to use 3rd-party clients.

How would you write a novel in Word/Pages?
There are some people trying to recreate the Wordstar experience, like this one, and they supposedly were great and simple for writing long-form content (it was before my time, so I have no experience with it).

Lightweight Word Processor
WordGrinder. It's great for distraction-free writing, and can output Markdown or troff. It's a great tool for getting words down, but its otherwise pretty limited (which I think is one of its strengths). When I need to print or generate a PDF, I have a little script.

Is there a way to have a full TUI desktop environment?
For word processing there's WordGrinder, which is in the repos for many distros (in Fedora: dnf install wordgrinder). Things like LaTeX and Groff are for typesetting, which I don't view as the same as word processing. WordGrinder is more like the classical DOS word processors (e.g. WordPerfect 5.1).

Building the fastest Lua interpreter.. automatically!
I have a word processor I wrote (https://cowlark.com/wordgrinder) which is mostly written in Lua, with hardware-specific stuff in C, and while this works extremely well, I'd very much like something with stronger typing. There's a possibility I'd be able to just drop in Luau and get it, plus some performance benefits. I'd need to reimplement parts of the standard library due to Luau having dropped things like the io library but that's no great hardship. I like the syntax, too, which is expressive and very lightweight.
