What would you recommend to use for desktop GUI apps written in Go?

  I search for a good Go GUI toolkit ever now and then and there aren't really any satisfactory ones yet. There is Walk but it is Windows-only.

    https://therecipe.github.io/qt/ https://therecipe.github.io/qt/ I've seen this being used in a few projects.

      Yeah but I feel like if I'm going to use Qt I may as well write it in C++. Part of the reason I like Go is that it makes easy-to-distribute binaries. Adding Qt back in gets rid of that benefit.

  A friend used walk (Windows-only, as other comment says) for a commercial project. AFAIK it worked okay. There is also shiny, an experimental one from the Go team; not checked it, and may not be production-ready yet. https://github.com/golang/exp/tree/master/shiny https://github.com/golang/exp/tree/master/shiny

    Shiny is missing a lot of desirable features (full-screen, window positioning, disallowing window scaling) and is no longer being maintained, unfortunately.

      Thanks for the info.
