S-Lang
The S-Lang programming library is a software library for Unix, Windows, VMS, OS/2, and Mac OS X. It provides routines for embedding an interpreter for the S-Lang scripting language, and components to facilitate the creation of text-based applications.[3] The latter class of functions include routines for constructing and manipulating keymaps, an interactive line-editing facility, and both low- and high-level screen/terminal management functions. It is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. (by hankem)

ChipWits (1984) was programmed in MacFORTH because...
I recently found a little C-like scripting language, S-Lang (aka slang) that is a stack machine that allows some explicit stack manipulation. This almost feels like programming directly in Java VM byte codes or FORTH. Not for the faint of heart.

GDB on Windows 10, no TUI at all?
I use GDB with openocd on ubuntu system to debug a Samd51 MCU using jlink. it's working good until when I lay next and look at the source code in graphical terminal, so if I scroll in TUI source code, GDB crashed and start printing in weird way(not sure if it's GDB It's might be the ubuntu terminal not liking it). So I decided to use it on windows with the jlink GDB server app, But the issue no is I can't use the TUI interface in windows terminal, and it says not supported, while some people on the internet talking about a missing curses lib. from pdcurses.org on windows that's why not working. any one having any idea on how to make the TUI works?

I can't include external libraries to my mingw installation
Since ncurses doesn't support Windows, you need PDCurses instead. After extracting the source tarball, cd into wincon/ and run make, which produces pdcurses.a static library. You'll need that library and curses.h from the project root.

NNN-like File Explorer
nnn uses the ncurses library. Someone has to compile it with PDCurses to work natively in cmd: https://pdcurses.org/

Something faster than printf?
On Windows you might need to use a shim layer (https://pdcurses.org/). However that actually creates an SDL based window and prints characters there.
