Lambda-Term
A cross-platform OCaml library for terminal manipulation with widgets and text editing.
What is Lambda-Term?
Lambda-Term is a cross-platform terminal manipulation library for OCaml that provides abstractions for keys, mouse events, colors, and widgets to build curses-like applications. It solves the problem of low-level terminal control by offering a higher-level, functional interface native to OCaml, integrating with Zed for text editing.
OCaml developers building console applications, terminal-based tools, or interactive command-line interfaces that require advanced terminal manipulation and widget support.
Developers choose Lambda-Term for its native OCaml interface, which is more idiomatic and integrated than C bindings like ncurses, and for its higher-level functional abstractions that simplify terminal application development.
