http://hackage.haskell.org/package/brick is popular in the Haskell world.

Can confirm that it's awesome for getting something small and useful done quickly.

I was a beginner Haskell programmer when I first used brick, and it's great exposure to building a real world application (something a lot of Haskell beginners crave learning). Docs are very good too.

Code for anyone that might find it useful: https://github.com/2mol/pboy

edit: forgot to mention that it's very "Elm architecture", so if you like modern frontend development, then you might feel right at home in that paradigm.

came to mention Brick too. The advantage is that it follows the unidirectional data flow pattern. Aka the Elm architecture. the advantage is that the whole interface is drawn from the data. (or the view is generated only from the model). This simplifies development a lot.

This doesn't support windows.
