impress terminal. Developer version

The repository has been archived to reduce maintenance work. It is now read-only.

This is a part of cross-platform GUI Library for Go. See https://github.com/codeation/impress

The developer version is a Go version of the impress terminal with minimal C code (GTK 3 library, etc).

Reasons to have a developer version besides the C version:

• A reference implementation of the client side.
• A place to inject high-level code on the client side for debugging or benchmarking.
• Highlight the clean logic of using GTK 3 and GTK 4.
