absolutely, with go it is very easy to do so, i just need to define an 
asynchronus channel and send cairo operations on it
but, euh, how does cairo and pixman perform this in parallel? 
for instance, each core renders part of the images or something?

is that already possible? or some feature planed for future development

i'd be very interested to help

thanks
