point being? this Go brigading is annoying

  Any language that helps to reduce C's status quo is welcomed, Go, Checked C or whatever. One piece at a time.

    Yeah. Fyne picked Go because it is a great language for building a GUI - not because we were Go developers. Fyne existed before the founders knew any Go :) Mostly coding window managers and desktop environment in C/C++ is so painful that you can see why it stagnated 20 years ago...

      Is that really a problem with C/C++ or an issue with the X Window System?
      • andydotxyz 5y ago
        Personally I think both. Yes the X11 APIs are horrible to work with - but decent code can abstract that away so the app APIs are sane. Doing that was easy with Go, but doing the same with C seems to end up passing around `void*` everywhere, so type safety (and a good coding experience) goes out the window.
