I've been following the evolution of GUI bindings/native solutions in Go for a while now, and unfortunately all attempts at "Go-native" GUIs like this one have stalled long before they could achieve even a small fraction of the functionality of "established" frameworks like Qt or GTK (although I'm not sure that's even a goal for this project). That said, I wish them (and the other projects which are still active) good luck...
- daenney 5y agoIt’s definitely a hard thing. Gio is still actively developed and it can already do useful things. On the not 100% native side there’s Fyne which seems to only depend on xorg development headers. It can do a lot.
- jonathanstrange 5y agoThe Fyne developers are still very active. I don't think it's useful for more than small utilities in its current state, but I hope they'll implement some well-working multiline rich text editing soon. This is the area in which most homebrewn GUIs tend to fail. Rich text editing is surprisingly hard to get right and reasonably platform-compliant.

- sigzero 5y agoHe didn't say it was. He was talking about "in general" and at the end even wishes them good luck.
