Investigate other UI toolkits #102

Open xxxserxxx opened 4 years ago

xxxserxxx commented 4 years ago

Several CLI UI toolkits exist. A comparison (CPU, memory, cross-platform compatability) would be interesting.

A comment in a termbox-go ticket indicated that that project was more or less unmaintained. This leaves gotop with three options:

  1. Continue to use termbox-go and live with any issues and risk of using an unmaintained project
  2. Take over and maintain a fork of termbox-go
  3. Switch to an actively maintained TUI toolkit

(1) makes me nervous and I don't have time for (2), so this gives the investigation more urgency. Tagging for 4.1.0. Also, termui uses drawille-go which is licensed AGPL, so another reason to switch.
