The few times I built TUIs with ncurses I wondered: why do I have to program so much by myself? ncurses is so basic, I didn't have too much fun building UIs with it (more than once). Is there a wrapper or a more modern alternative out there that provides containers and widgets like most GUI frameworks do?

Sadly, I think the modern alternative for ncurses-based interfaces is javascript.
