Subject: [9front] Greetings! (and few questions)

Good day!

I read the <9front dash1 manual> and fully understood the point <0.1.3
- Plan 9 is not for you>.

Still, I was wondering if you could help me with a little advice(s).
In particular, while playing with 9front I found myself looking for a
two-panel file manager and went on a quest to write one in Go.

Now, after having something breathing [1] and achieving
cross-compilation with Plan9, I discovered that this is not enough.
Current show-stopper is lack of Plan9 support by the underlying
library TCELL [2]. Issue is described in some details in [3] and [4]:

"...plan9 does not use escape sequences at all, nor does it use ttys.
It appears you need to interact directly with libdraw and with the
events subsystem..."

I am wondering if someone would be interested to contribute time to
explain the scope and potentially sketch the solution?

Another related question is whether Plan9, 64-bit binaries, compiled
by Go will work in 9front? The same question is currently unanswered
on Stackoverflow [5].

Sincerely,
Bogunix
