Brick is a Haskell terminal user interface (TUI) programming toolkit that enables developers to build rich, responsive terminal applications via a declarative model: you define a pure function that renders the UI from application state and supply state transition logic to handle events. brick exposes a declarative API. Unlike most GUI toolkits which require you to write a long and tedious sequence of widget creations and layout setup, brick just requires you to describe your interface using a set of declarative layout combinators. Event-handling is done by pattern-matching on incoming events and updating your application state. ...

...Programs are composed by chaining small words that transform a typed stack, and the compiler uses type inference to ensure compositions are valid. The language explores disciplined handling of side effects, aiming to separate pure transformations from operations that perform I/O or mutate state. Its design encourages small, reusable building blocks that compose cleanly, while still permitting low-level control where performance matters. The implementation targets efficient compiled code and investigates how advanced type systems can improve reliability in a stack-based language. As a research project, Kitten serves both as a language to experiment with and as a vehicle for ideas about safety and structure in concatenative programming.
