Charm was a huge part of why I was learning Go, so having these ports/bindings available is amazing!
If you do any kind of CLI work in Ruby this is going to be a must have.
I always loved Charm's aesthetics and it really opened my eyes with what can be done with TUIs. But I never felt like I wanted to learn Go just to be able to use these libraries. Ruby is magical in it's own way, so it just felt right to bring these libraries over to Ruby!
The same was true for me! There was some sort of weird allure in seeing Charm's first projects and wanting to create one of my own, even if it meant learning Go which I wasn't planning on doing otherwise.
I've recently been using AI to write CLI utilities in Go with Charm, but I know Ruby much better than Go so this is very exciting news. I'm even more excited about the coming work for the libraries to "feel more Ruby-like and idiomatic".
Charm team member here. Ruby and Go are my favorite languages. Excited to see this come to life!
