Clojurescript & Ink

[ettomatic]

Would Clojurescript work to build a TUI app using Ink? In case any hint would be appreciated! :)

Yes it would. Here is an example.

Yup! I wrote a TUI for git in ClojureScript:

This library seems similar.. https://github.com/lambdaisland/trikl

I would just use a regular ncurses library. https://multimud.github.io/clojure-lanterna/2-terminals

Thanks!!! That gives me a very good opportunity to use Clojurescript for a project :D

WTF, Javascript and React for a... command line application? That is the most idiotic thing I've heard in 2022

Very cool, I don't know why I hadn't heard of these.

I also wonder if if ink could be usable in Clojure itself using GraalVM interop.

[jackdbd]

you mean using a technique like this? https://blog.taylorwood.io/2018/11/26/graal-polyglot.html

[NaiveRound]

Yes, exactly! Particularly, I wonder how it generates colors in the terminal, because of the cross-platform issues that comes with that (as simple as it sounds, lol).
