tui - Text User Interface for Clojure
A vary simple Clojure library to simplify creation of basic text based user interfaces. This is more an example rather than a real library. I use it and find it useful, but I'm sure any reasonably competent clojure programmer could use the same underlying library and have something which better suits their coding style and need.
This library uses the Clojure Lanterna library
Usage
Have a look at the tests to get an idea of how to use this library and the example-app function in the core.clj file. Read the clojure and java Lanterna docs. If you have ever done anything with ncurses, this should all be pretty straight-forward.
What I've really done is take the Clojure Lanterna library and just added a few higher level abstractions to make what I do easier. What I do is probably different to what you do, so the utility of this stuff will vary. However, I hope this may give you some ideas.
Note that most of the time when I use this library, performance is not an issue. I tend to use Clojure quite a bit for writing simple tools or utility programs. The interface requirements are quite simple and almost certainly don't exercise the many bugs hidden here!
The basic abstraction is a window. I tend to use keywords to name windows and the abstractions in this library maintains a structure which tracks details about current windows. It makes it easier to have multiple windows at the same time.
