Why?
It can't run on xterm, but one of the things we'll have to do is to work on
gnome-terminal and similar terminal emulators in order to reproduce the Akka
behavior, which, technically speaking is pretty trivial (I had a look on
eterm some time ago) modulo free time.
But I don't understand why it wouldn't be interesting if it's only for text
consoles.
