Re: [9fans] a simple graphical application in Go?

[Jeremy Jackins <jeremyjackins@gmail.com>]

Well, you need a Go draw package in place of the C library. There is a
draw package in github.com/9fans/go/ but unfortunately I think it only
supports plan9port devdraw, rather than the native Plan 9 draw device.
So there is some library work to be done first. Since the Go standard
library also contains the most important drawing primitives
implemented by the Plan 9 draw device (with the exception of font
rendering, but there is golang.org/x/image/font), you may be able to
ignore a lot of functionality provided by the Plan 9 draw library and
focus on a few things like loading pixel data directly to the draw
device.

See: http://man.cat-v.org/plan_9/3/draw
