Does anyone know of a kotlin library that lets you do interactive CLI apps? I'd like something that wraps the logic of asking questions / parsing stdin, etc.

Might want to ask in #C010QM0HN4W

Jake Wharton has the following project with the library above https://github.com/JakeWharton/adb-event-mirror

Used clikt in like 10 things. It good.

but it sounds like what @Pacane wants is more like a REPL structure, which.. i am not sure anybody made a library for yet

[Nikky]

although i have not uses clikt before and just fro ma quick glance there were some mentions of fun promptForLine and stdin being used

this seems useful though

If you're doing a REPL you would parse each entered line using clikt to determine the action to take
