I really like tui applications, because they are sustainable, efficient, distraction free and often do one thing in which they are good in.

But I can't find a good application for every purpose I need and want to create my own tui application.

And the only thing I know of is ncurses. But because it's really old, I don't know if it's still state-of-the-art or are there better solutions?

Which language would be the best to create a sustainable tui application?

Thanks for your help :)

I wouldn't say Rust is that easy to learn. You can get the basics pretty quickly, but it feels a bit frustrating until you get over the initial learning hurdle. Extremely satisfying language though, I strongly recommend it.
