Some years ago, I was exploring some terminal UI Javascript libraries, and discovered Blessed. It looked fantastic, however, it only runs around 15 minutes and dies because of poor memory management.

I have been thinking about doing it in a static typed language, for sometime. And I thought I could try that in Rust.

So I found tui-rs, redux-rs, tree-xml. I am still trying to "glue" these together, so that I can write programs in tui, in Javascript.

Eventually, what I want to create is something like a react-native-tui.

It's not as easy as it looks, though with some key ingredients already at hand.
