Pros:

• Screen system is wonderful
• New roguelike library in Golang!
• Cool wrappers around the low-level BLT functions
• Tutorial answers a question I had about implementing both a Screen state machine with ECS

Cons:

• ECS API is verbose. It is exhausting to use the ECS, which is unfortunate since this library otherwise rocks. I imagine it's due to the way Golang works, but I'd kill for something as simple as for pos, appr in ecsController.QueryComponents(PositionComponent, AppearanceComponent)
• The tutorial appears to be out of sync with the current API. Following the wiki has produced errors that wind up getting solved when I look at the code directy.

I know this hasn't been updated for years, and therefore is unlikely to see any more updates, but I would definitely be more interested in using it with a good cleanup of the ECS API. I might play around with this without the ECS to see if I can get something working on my own. I prefer BearLibTerminal to most other roguelike libraries because of its very simple API and many ports. Seeing a good Golang port of it almost made me abandon C.
