At first I thought 'what does an ncurses alternative have to do with Smalltalk' but it quickly dawned on me that this is another tool using the name 'Slang'. OK, the ncurses alternative is officially spelled 'S-Lang' [1] but in the vernacular it usually gets shorted to 'slang'. It is used by e.g. Midnight Commander:

   $ ldd /usr/bin/mc
     ...
     libslang.so.2 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libslang.so.2
     ...
