Does anyone know about open source libraries to help write command line Kotlin apps ? Clikt is great but I'm also looking at things like terminal colors, resize, progress bars, prompts, maybe ascii tables, etc..

If you are looking for something like curses, check: https://github.com/Hexworks/zircon It is Java, but I guess it won't be too hard to use with Kotlin

And if you want to parse cli parameters (like getopt) you could use: http://jcommander.org

Thanks! Regarding parsing parameters, I'm already deep down in Clikt. The delegated property usage make it very elegant in Kotlin

I didn't knew Clikt, thanks!

Clikt is very nice, makes me want to write plenty of cli now 🙂
