  🌈 React for interactive command-line apps

This and other JS CLI libraries are typically used by JS projects that have tooling. Like when create-react-app scaffolds a project and asks you questions to customize it, etc. it's using libraries like this one.

Speed rarely matters for imperative user-facing tools. You're going to be waiting for a user to type and respond far, far longer than making some system calls to write to the shell.

Ink is a more interesting and maintained library to consider though: https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink It lets you write react-like apps that output to the terminal instead of HTML.
