A couple years ago, I reimplemented a program for my father that he'd written in #BASIC in the 80s. I built it on top of the #Haskell ncurses library even though I'd rather have used brick because I mistakenly believed that it would compile natively on Windows instead of having to go through WSL. It was a pretty non-trivial project, and I ended up regretting that early decision, but I got it done.

The underlying ncurses infrastructure has since been abandoned by its maintainer and is seriously broken, so I've taken on the task of re-writing the program to use brick instead. I was not looking forward to this task, because I knew it would be a fairly large undertaking, but it needs to be done if he ever wants any other changes made. Fortunately, the code I wrote was very brick-inspired, so in many ways it's proving to be an easier change than I had originally anticipated. It only needs fairly small changes... just a lot of them.
