Ask HN: Which Lisp has the best TUI libraries?

I've been getting imto LISP recently. I like Racket, but there doesn't seem to be many (any?) TUI libraries. I much prefer TUIs to GUIs, so I can write applications that target both my phone (via termux) and all my other various devices.

Emacs Lisp

  Another really good point that I just failed to take into account. I've always been amazed at how well Emacs Just Works between its TUI and GUI.

Clojure can use any Java library easily. There are implementations of / libraries for Common Lisp that interact with the JVM and/or the CLR.

  Yeah, fair; I'd read that Clojure runs on the JVM, I just hadn't really put 2 and 2 together on that.

    ABCl (Armed Bear Common Lisp) is a Common Lisp that runs in the JVM. https://common-lisp.net/project/armedbear/ https://common-lisp.net/project/armedbear/
