Except that Go is for command line programs and backend code; its standard library doesn't include a cross-platform GUI API for desktop applications.

  What was the stdlib's cross platform GUI like in Pascal?

    Probably could have been awesome, the Windows flavor certainly was; but they dropped Kylix before it got a chance to go anywhere.

      You might want to look at Delphi's VLC and FireMonkey. With Free Pascal/Lazarus, they have the LCL (open source equivalent to VLC). Free Pascal/Lazarus has no problem with Linux or macOS. It was Delphi that stumbled around for some years about this, but presently can also be installed now on both. Of course, Delphi cost the big bucks.

        VCL, not VLC. Visual Component Library.

          LOL, you are right, such a silly typo. I was actually playing around with VLC player at that time, so must have got "crossed wires".

            I usually get it wrong the other way around in stead.
