For Golang there is Bubbletea [1], Textual [2] for Python and tui-rs for Rust [3].

I highly recommend Bubbletea. I used it for an internal tool, and it combined with Viper makes an easy-to-use TUI application development easy. Though it uses an approach more similar to Elm than to React.

Which is an advantage in my book

I just searched for a Ruby TUI to add to your list of TUIs for different popular languages and was very surprised at what I stumbled across:

[it's Ruby Tui, the New Zealand Rugby Union player, grid of photos heading]

Is tui-rs actively maintained? Currently 52 outstanding pull requests and last commit was ~9 months ago.

It has been forked and actively maintained on [1] ratatui crate.

You can see this discussion post about it [2].

Just FYI that neither use React or anything close to it, they follow the “immediate” rendering approach.

Dioxus (https://github.com/dioxuslabs/dioxus) is pretty React like, and has a TUI rendering mode.

There's also Mosaic, which is an experiment of sorts to build console UI using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose: https://github.com/JakeWharton/mosaic

There’s also r3bl for Rust: https://crates.io/crates/r3bl_rs_utils
