Purpose

This is obviously just a toy to see how easy it'd be to make something like cmatrix using Golang.

The name came from the fact that this seems to be lighter on the CPU usage from quite a few other implementations:

The comparison was made with as similar settings as possible (speed, character set) and in terminals of the same dimensions. Not much thought has gone into this project, it probably can be optimized more.
