- anthk 5y agoGo is like what C++ should been long ago, from the creators of C. Ditto with plan9/9front and the original Unix. Now, QT/C++ is the new Motif/C, but not just for Unix, but for doing cross plataform tools everywhere. I think the future will be shipping static Go binaries with GIO everywhere. INB4 "disk space", today's compilers and linkers should strip away all cruft from linking by removing any useless library function.

I would like to add a GUI to a little (very little) mysql database updater tool I have in customer hands. GIO is interesting and impressive but I am not as optimistic as you that it will develop into anything big.
