Building Rich Terminal Dashboards
There's a slick little Haskell library that does something similar called reflex-vty:
https://github.com/reflex-frp/reflex-vty#reflex-vty
One thing neither of these libraries appear to have done yet that I would really like is create a more compact window rendering. Currently each window gets a 1-character border. What I would like is something that saves space by collapsing adjacent windows' borders into a single character instead of having two redundant borders next to each other. Of course I get why they do it the way they do, but terminals are often more constrained for space and with complex UIs you can lose a fair amount due to these unnecessary borders. That would be the next thing I'd hack on to improve these kinds of libraries. But alas...too many fun projects to hack on and not enough hours in the day.

Turbo Pascal or Delphi for Text Screen Applications
With FPC, you can use Free Vision, which is a supposed to be like a remake of the old Borland Turbo Vision. Alternatively for C++.
- What is a low-level UI library that allows me to make my own text widgets?

Using byte array for window?
Talking about a window display from byte array sounds like windowing for a purely text based (console based) user interface, like the 1990's Borland's old Turbo Vision. There are modern ports of Turbo Vision, e.g. superquick googling found one at GitHub.
