Announcing the first public code release of a4, a dynamic terminal...
I haven't tried it, but looks hot as fuck!
Why replace ncurses?
Is it bloated than the ~700 or how-many lines was it, this other lib?

Many reasons. Lexi Summer Hale (https://xn--rpa.cc/irl/term.html) was influential. libtickit's better handling of colors was a big driver. The author, Paul "LeoNerd" Evans, is wonderful to work with, and also provides libvterm, which is more processing that shouldn't be implemented individually by every terminal application.
