Well, you're wanting to write a TUI in the first place, which (arguably) means you're not really looking for "state of the art" or "modern" -- if you see what I mean.
And if one wants to write a TUI app, then curses is the most natural and least bloated way I can think of to make that happen.
And you don't need to resort to writing your app in C -- lots (most?) programming languages have bindings to curses. I've written a curses app in Ruby, for example.
Is your Ruby application open source? I am curious for what it is :)
Yes they're open source. They're also not terribly interesting and I haven't updated them in many years, but maybe I should fix that!

#!/usr/bin/env
in their scripts.
