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

[Bogunix M <bogunix@gmail.com>]

Thank you for your replies.
I have updated the Stackoverflow question that Go compilation will
work in 9front.

Later this month I will look into the `duit` and `Libdraw`, though my
preference is to make the `tcell` work in Plan9, given the amount of
tools written in it (such as the Micro text editor [1])

Sincerely,
Bogunix
