Start X11 and web frontends for xC For this, we needed a wire protocol. After surveying available options, it was decided to implement an XDR-like protocol code generator in portable AWK. It now has two backends, per each of: - xF, the X11 frontend, is in C, and is meant to be the primary user interface in the future. - xP, the web frontend, relies on a protocol proxy written in Go, and is meant for use on-the-go (no pun intended). They are very much work-in-progress proofs of concept right now, and the relay protocol is certain to change.

/xP
/proto.go
xP: use the binary protocol for incoming events And batch event messages together as much as possible. JSON has proven itself to be really slow (for example, encoding/json.Marshaler is a slow interface), and browsers have significant overhead per WS message. Commands are still sent as JSON, sending them in binary would be a laborious rewrite without measurable merits. The xP server now only prints debug output when requested, because that was another source of major slowdowns.
