best command line / textual UI library in rust

still tons of bugs and useless things, when doing even basic stuff

why is it so lauded I don't know

foreboding

Write your own :D
Would be fun

@SoldierOfCode I HAVE OTHER THINGS TO WRITE

@jestdotty Fair, but if you need it, and there's no existing solutions, or the existing solutions suck and don't fit your use case, well... What else can you do but write your own solution

@SoldierOfCode WORK ON THE OTHER THINGS I NEED TO WORK ON UNTIL SOMEONE ELSE GETS TO IT

@SoldierOfCode amen to that, I hear more and more people writing things themselves again.

Hmm... Either you're a COBOL fan, or your CAPS LOCK is stuck.

OT: TUIs are nice.

Ratatui?

I hate immediate mode for everything more involved than the debug GUI in Unity. It attempts to achieve simplicity not by managing and gradually revealing the inherent complexity of rendering code but by pretending that it doesn't exist. If you want reactivity, we have a facet for that, it's called an observable, and the idea that Rust can't do observers is categorically false, it just doesn't have GC so you need to establish some higher ownership structure and prevent the event source and the handler from owning each other.

@jestdotty Well, I mean that's a valid solution. Might take a few years tho.
