i know it is *used*, but i think it is software in the x11 category where it was basically a mix of being a bad knockoff and each original idea in it making it worse. there's tons of options for terminal interfaces though, and lots of them are great.

curses is classic unix-ism - "abstract everything away until it's a chore to actually use"

matti posted:it's a library from 1978 before unix even had asynchronous interfaces this is a lie btw because terminal i/o was specifically the first async interface added to unix see <termios.h> and VMIN and VTIME just wanted to correct my earlier post that was factually wrong matti fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Mar 17, 2024 |

Sweevo posted:curses is classic unix-ism - "abstract everything away until it's a chore to actually use" i think it's more that its from that awkward era when you still needed to heavily conform your abstractions to the machine you were programming against, for performance reasons, but you still wanted to make it abstract drat it! so it is kind of bad at being "near the metal" so to say and also being portable both mind that in late 70s and early 80s unix was super loving slapdash also

but the video game "rogue" was partly co-developed with the library so at least something good came out of it

I prefer to manage my venvs outside of poetry the cool kids are already switching to uv
