bashsimplecurses: Simple curses library made in bash to draw terminal interfaces
Zsh users get a bundled curses module; see zsh/curses¹ in zshmodules(1). It is a very thin wrapper, so it works how you'd expect from other uses. There is a tetris implementation using zsh/curses that ships with zsh², and you can use it as a nice comparison to the non-curses implementation that also comes with zsh³.
I've used zsh/curses a few times to hack together little interfaces, and it is quite workable. It makes things far simpler once you start reaching for terminfo's capabilities that require you to think about state too much. A friend of mine wrote a little mblaze⁴ frontend using it, and it felt like using single mailbox mutt with less than a hundred lines of code.
I was expecting the linked project to be a loadable module too given that bash also supports them, but it is actually a little more interesting to look at given it implements a bunch of the behaviour itself using tput calls.

How to Lose Control of Your Shell
> Now, listen. I wish I could continue here and end with “… and this is why ZSH does it that way!”
https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/blob/47c7bc9b1493c7374f076b... has a comment about this behaviour, but no justification. I think it's just an optimization to save a little bit of time by not forking, and to avoid having the zsh process hanging around taking resources for no reason.

Pimp your CLI
As a developer, the command line is one of the tools you will be using most frequently. It can be intimidating to venture into the world of CLI tooling but I can assure you it is one of the most rewarding experiences too. In this post I want to walk ya'll through my personal CLI setup. It is based on 3 technologies which I'll coin as the "Holy Trinity" of the command line: TMUX, ZSH, & Neovim.

Zsh and Bash
Just like macOS, bash is included by default in most Linux distributions. Zsh on the other hand, needs to be installed manually. The installation process varies for different distributions but you can always check how to go about it for your distro on zsh website.
