good that someone said, because my memory of (n)curses is that it is one of those ancient lovely libraries that was really bad even when it was new. both in that it is incredibly convoluted for what it is, and kind of notably i believe it had way less functionality than most terminal libraries at the time.

so i opt to read the "curses" in the thread title as the more general "anyone doing cool and thought through ui on the terminal", which i do love.

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.
