I tried this on macOS … very smooth install and looks great. But why would I switch to Raku just to get a TUI framework?

- apogee 6mo agoThe tl;dr is: because you want native performance and don't want to focus on blitting pixels or terminal internals. Selkie has an event/effect model similar to Elm & re-frame, you just declare your widgets and renders/updates are handled by the lib. As for why Raku: - grammars allow for easy parsing of complex DSLs - supply/tap are a natural fit for the event/effect model, asynchronous thread-safe programming - roles make composing widgets simple - it's fun to write :D
- librasteve 6mo agoOk cool, thanks!
- apogee 6mo agonp, what kind of TUIs do you write?
