An overwhelming number of programming-related things "pollute our natural language namespace". Off the top of my head: Ruby, Python, Java, Rails, React, Go, Rust, Elm, Dart, C, C#, Node, Next, Nest, Kafka, LaTeX, bash, fish, cat, Android, Apple, Windows… I'd be happy to search for this with "bubble tea framework" or "bubble tea tui" or similar and it doesn't bother me.

I spent a good chunk of time last week looking for a solid cross-platform GUI toolkit. I came to the conclusion that the terminal is the most portable GUI platform available. You can create an app that has windows, buttons, mouse support, etc, statically compile it for Windows, Linux, and Mac, and run it over SSH. The closest you can get to that with real graphics is using a toolkit built on OpenGL, and you'll be for…

I'd look at Qt or Electron if you need to do cross-platform desktop apps, if for no other reason than accessibility. Sure you can make wacky midnight commander like GUIs in the console, but no screen reader is going to be able to make heads or tails of them and you'll shut out users.
TUI/GUI (qt,gtk,cocoa,...) & even has pas2js

This is so sad. Every time I boot up Plan9 for fun I'm reminded their remoting solution (drawterm) does graphics just fine (since everything is just files, and graphics is done by writing to a software framebuffer device file). Sure, it's something you can do with SSH via X11 forwarding since forever, but it seems the ecosystem never quite stuck the landing, and now we're here trying to figure out how to make CLI mor…

QT and Electron are the most capable cross platform tools for building UIs in my opinion. Both have their drawbacks of course, QT is a pain to work with and electron is famous for being not responsive enough for some users
I don't like things that pollute our natural language namespace. Couldn't you have named it something unique?

I bet you HATE the Go language name.
