  Just another ECS library for Go/Ebitengine

For the curious, here's the engine this is built with: https://github.com/yohamta/donburi

I do also really like Go for various reasons, and have been working on a Go -> C++ transpiler and associated ECS libs to make a personal game project with. I used it to make a game for Raylib game jam earlier this year too: https://github.com/nikki93/raylib-5k You can see what the development workflow looks like in this video (the ECS stuff also has an editor): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8He97Sl9iy0

I'm trying to decide how much time I should devote to making this easier to set up / use by other people in the medium term, since it's just a side project for me. Might make a codespaces template so it's quick to get started.
