I know you're looking for something even more high-level, but here are the highest-level tools I've come across recently: https://docs.poshtools.com/powershell-pro-tools-documentatio... https://github.com/bczsalba/pytermgui https://github.com/Textualize/textual - discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31143327 Auto-generation of UI was an area of active research circa the early 2000s.

Show HN: A modular Python TUI framework with a fast and pretty markup language

PyTermGUI is a highly modular framework offering most of the features one would expect from a GUI library, such as a mature and open Widget API, animations, mouse support and other goodies, right inside the terminal! The markup language is another great feature of the library, and is used by practically all elements of it.

There is a full Window Manager API included as well, allowing the user to move, resize and otherwise manipulate windows and inner contents using either their mouse of keyboard. All of the "guts" of the library are also exposed and usable from the outside within the `ansi_interface` submodule. Thank you for your time, and I hope the library may
