[moved from top level, original posts by @Garth Goldwater] https://github.com/unconed/TermKitĀ is in the replies. there’s alsoĀ https://www.nushell.sh/Ā which displays a lot of stuff as tabular data by default. definitely a cool area to work on eg if you click ā€œget startedā€ and then ā€œworking with tablesā€ on the nushell site (they aren’t using urls properly 😭)

I hate the name, but I now think a next-generation terminal needs to be at least as cool as the "Userland" demo above. The dataflow aspect is killer. Xiki also looks cool.

Regular reminder to those who haven’t done it yet: have a close look at http://gtoolkit.com. REPL-with-inspector on steroids, and usable in real life right now.
