A Go (golang) Custom Flutter Engine Embedder for desktop

Purpose

Disclaimer: Yes this project has the same goals as google/FDE, but I'm having fun and it scratches an itch I have, so I'm gonna keep going!

The flutter engine itself doesn't know how to deal with desktop platforms (eg handling mouse/keyboard input). Instead, it exposes an abstraction layer for whatever platform to implement. The purpose of this project is to implement Flutter's Embedding API using a SINGLE code base that runs on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. GLFW fits the job because it provides the right abstractions over the OpenGL's Buffer/Mouse/Keyboard for each platform.

The choice of Golang comes from the fact that it has the same tooling on every platform. Plus golang is a great language because it keeps everything simple and readable, which, I hope, will encourage people to contribute 😁 .
