I like this. Do similar projects exist for other languages?
Suprised to not see ncurses mentioned anywhere yet. Not sure it's an exact match but it's well supported in the same ballpark.

#43It's pretty great to see so many different takes on these visual prompts! Going through the source, it looks pretty similar to an early version of one of my projects - have you ran into any issues with chyzer/readline? I can't remember the exact reason I had to ditch it, but I think there were problems with its support for Windows
Here's the project for anyone interested: https://github.com/AlecAivazis/survey

#45Have you tried it in Linux ? Emojis are not available there.
That depends on your distro. Fedora 27 just shipped recently with colored emoji support thanks to the Google noto emoji font.
I shipped my distro (Happy Hacking Linux) with emoji fonts a year before Fedora. That font is useful only for GUI apps, won't work in CLI.

Anything like this for a .NET command line application?

It absolutely works in gnome-terminal on GNOME 3.26.
