Suppose I want to implement a curses/console like program in HTML/CSS/Javascript. Examples might be a online text adventure game or a simple interpreter similar to the "Try the XYZ programming language now" web pages you see for languages like Ruby or Haskell. Is there a library/plugin/etc... that implements these terminal like interfaces?
Note:
After digging around for quite some time I found jquery-console, which looks quite promising at first glance.
Any other alternatives or recommendations?

In JavaScript, the console is an object which provides access to the browser debugging console. We can open a console in web browser by using: Ctrl + Shift + I for windows and Command + Option + K for Mac. The console object provides us with several different methods, like : log()
JavaScript frameworks are collections of JavaScript code libraries that provide developers with pre-written code to use for routine programming features and tasks—literally a framework to build websites or web applications around. Popular JavaScript front-end frameworks include React, React Native, Angular, and Vue.
You can also enter into the JavaScript Console by using the keyboard shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + J on Linux or Windows, or COMMAND + OPTION + J on macOS, which will bring focus immediately to the Console. Now that you have accessed the Console, you can begin working within it in JavaScript.
The log() method writes (logs) a message to the console.
I have been using the termlib.js library for a couple of projects and it works really great. It helps with a lot of stuff like handling keyboard and parsing inputs.
It should also be less bloated than any jQuery-based solution unless you were going to use jQuery anyway.
You might want to start off looking at the readme or try some samples.
