- 1letterunixname 3y agoAnd then ObjectVision, OWL, and OWLNext. Just don't forget curses or whiptail. The promises of "easy" and "features" where they don't belong, like using JS and CSS in TUIs is tech debt, security concerns, and resource waste waiting to happen. Picking on a convenient victim, say Rust, it has: cursive, tuikit, ratatui, and termion that make for powerful, safe, performant, and maintainable code. It's always cute when absurd things are made possible, but some ideas are impractical for anything beyond toys. If you want toys, sure, do anything and go nuts with it.
