This is just a quick experiment with Brick to show that we can easily get a nice TUI in haskell for our CLI. Code is very nice I think, and library is very powerful and handles a lot of stuff out of the box (it is also cross-platform!).
As mentioned in the comments in the code, main thing that will be missing for us to use it for
wasp startis logic for replacing ansi control characters in the output received from the child processes withVtystyling, but that is basically one function/module that we can then reuse accross the whole TUI and LLM should be able to help us a lot to write it. We can even open source it namedbrick-ansi, I saw other people onbrickgithub asking for it.I will leave this draft here as a potential starting point. Whoever is implementing this, first read the Brick guide.
