For future reference (and anyone following along later), that is an "ncurses" terminal application.

You should see the customized JBHIFI terminal + keyboard.

what are those? searching for JBHIFI terminal only brings up a store in Australia of that name selling square POS terminals.

Bloomberg terminals also have a custom keyboard and are essentially a terminal program.

Yeah JB Hi-Fi is a local retailer in Aus (guessing it's like a Best Buy but a strong focus on music CDs originally), it's probably a reference to the software the staff uses. Haven't had a chance to look over their shoulder at that one.

So should we be doing demos in Bash, with an ncurses or gum workflow before going back to write the proper system in C?

I dont see the problem with this. What is "Gum workflow" in this context ?

Neither do I.

It was supposed to be read:

A [ncurses or gum] workflow.

Gum being an alternative method of making a Bash UI.
