Future of Coding

Anyone have experience with the Ink "CLI"? It's more like a CLI IDE in React?

I don't have experience with ink but recently been looking into text based UIs, I decided to use <https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit>

if you want to do things like syntax highlight, autocomplete, switch the input to vim or Emacs modes, etc. ppt may be a better choice since I'm guessing you would have to implement react-like versions of all those features using Ink

I have used Ink once before. Ink is a custom renderer for React. For example, React-dom renders to web but Ink renders to terminal.

You have to use components provided by Ink to build your terminal UI but still you can use all the react’s core features like props, state, hooks and etc.

The screenshot here is showing the React dev-tools working with Ink so you can debug your Ink apps with ease.

It looks great! I would love to see the same but done with Vue.js.
