If you want to build interactive terminal interfaces, check out blessed [0]. Even better, you can use react-blessed [1] to write declarative UI code! You can also find additional widgets in blessed-contrib [2].

For actually shipping the code around, you could use pkg [3] to generate a single binary. That lets you avoid having to install node or any supporting libraries.
