curses

tool 1 connections

Classic terminal UI library (used via the ncurses Ruby gem, which was removed from Ruby's standard library). Used in the gaming lightning talk to build a VM-management CLI. Speaker criticises its API quirks: X/Y ordering in the window API while the terminal reports columns/lines, and attron/attroff pairs that feel awkward despite working as expected.
