The main use I intended for this is to make it ridiculously easy to make useful developer tools - CLIs come really natural to devs, and so I tried to make something a ton of people could build off of to make a ton of cool tools.
An example of a project I want to get to using it is a database CLI app - it can save your credentials, lets you connect to and query the db, give auto-completed suggestions, etc. This is now really easy to do in Javascript, and you just couldn't do that before very easily.
On your question, yeah - there is something Norton Commander-ish - it's a library called blessed, by Christopher Jeffrey, who's pretty boss at CLI apps:

- goldfeld 11y agoBlessed is awesome--I'll plug the ClojureScript UI framework I'm building on top of it: https://github.com/goldfeld/i9n https://github.com/goldfeld/i9n And by the way great work with vorpal, I'm kind of rolling my own CLI command trickery in an app/platform I'm building on top of i9n (kind of a platform to integrate dev tools like a database app, a pluggable IDE of sorts), but I'll probably put Vorpal into i9n soon and use its many features from there.
- dc2 11y agoThanks! Your project looks pretty cool!
- keyle 11y agoWill check it out. Thanks!
- reed1 11y agoI'd love to see that sql cli app of yours. Is that available for public?
- dc2 11y agoAh haha - it's an idea. I have two other Vorpal apps I'm making right now, and then after they're done that would be the next one I would make.
