SE Radio 669: Will McGugan on Text-Based User Interfaces

Will McGugan, the CEO and founder of Textualize,
speaks with host Gregory M. Kapfhammer about how to use packages
such as Rich and Textual to build text-based user interfaces
(TUIs) and command-line interfaces (CLIs) in Python. Along with
discussing the design idioms that enable developers to create
TUIs in Python, they consider practical strategies for
efficiently rendering the components of a TUI. They also explore
the subtle idiosyncrasies of implementing performant TUI
frameworks like Textual and Rich and introduce the steps that
developers would take to create their own CLI or TUI.
