See also Textual by the same developer. Really impressive work.

Try prompt_toolkit which is a Python library used by IPython among others: https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit
bat especially was a revelation. I don't think I'll ever use cat again if I can help it. I recently found exa[1] which was a bit too colorful for my taste but very nice too

Isocline, a readline alternative by Daan Leijen (an absolute legend) is about the closest I've found to this: https://github.com/daanx/isocline
That said it doesn't push "input controls" quite to the extreme Rich/Textual do for UI controls, but it might be a starting point to look into.

Someone has tried on macOS. It hasn't really seen mass uptake though.
Take a look at TermKit - https://github.com/unconed/TermKit
Long abandoned but I’d love something like this. Someone I know tried to revive it but Node has changed so much that they gave up.
I would donate to an effort to revive it.
Very nice. Two other great python libraries for cli display are:
1 tabulate: helps render ASCII tables in various formats (https://github.com/astanin/python-tabulate)
2. typer: write cli commands by decorating python functions. It uses type annotations to automatically parse input (https://typer.tiangolo.com/)
We're using both of those in our Kubernetes troubleshooting tool (https://robusta.dev). Going to look at adding Rich too
