Elm-inspired terminal application framework
If you haven't seen the "blessed" package in action, you should check it out, it's impressive. You create a screen, attach views to it, some support text input, scrolling, buttons pressable by mouse. I'd like to see something like this in Swift, and incorporating ideas from Elm to create state-less user interfaces.
It's pretty easy to build on top of ncurses, but only for the basic functions like getch, move, attron/off, and addstr. The "real" API will be custom built.

If you're interested, definitely read up on ncurses and this article can get you started w/ the Swift/C part: http://dev.iachieved.it/iachievedit/ncurses-with-swift-on-linux/
