If we want to trace back the lineage completely, here's the discussion on blessed (https://github.com/chjj/blessed):

I guess it wasn't very popular in spite of the projects it influenced. :)

Although, blessed-contrib does add some pretty cool widgets.

blessed is an amazing engineering work! I hoped the name blessed-contrib to show the project roots.

termui is built upon termbox-go in a similar way that blessed-contrib builds on blessed, which is why I found them similar.

yaronn, I totally appreciate that. I like seeing projects based on blessed, and yours might be the first major library to do that. The drawille ascii art in blessed-contrib is awesome, and it's good because I think it belongs in a separate library. It might be too specific for blessed core. That being said, I definitely want to add a table widget to blessed eventually. It should be in there.
