Text User Interface?

ruby-talk

I’m looking for suggestions for a text user interface library to use on a
project I’m working on. I would strongly prefer that it be written in
ruby and run on top of ncurses. Suggestions?

If I can’t find one, I’ll probably write one. Since there are a large
number of folks out there who are far better designers than I am, can
someone recommend an existing (documented) package to clone in Ruby?

I am not aware of any text ui’s for Ruby.

There’s some listed on RAA under Lbrary/TUI:

I played with jttui a very little bit once, and it seemed nice.
