Renaissance of Terminal User Interfaces with Rust
summary
Demonstrates building TUIs with Ratatui on Rust, with concrete examples: immediate‑mode rendering loop that redraws every 16 ms / ~60 FPS, widget trait and buffer APIs that allow snapshot testing via cargo insta and a test backend, templates via cargo-generate, and integrations like animations using fon-effects. Shows working apps — a top-style monitor, an AI training view for Snake, a multiplayer "Carles" puzzle, and teer replaying VT100 animations — with code snippets, performance claims, and tests that actually run.
