GLFW has merged proper support for client-side window decorations on Wayland!
Source: I've been slowly building my own wlroots-based compositor for about a year now and I also wrote my own pure Go implementation of both sides of the Wayland protocol for the fun of it.

creating gui in golang without 3rd party libraries?
Depends on your target platform. Long story short you gotta bind to whatever the OS is giving you to send commands to the display. On Linux that'll be X11 or Wayland. https://github.com/rajveermalviya/go-wayland appears to be a workable wayland client that could handle writing apps for wayland compositors. But there you are immediately using a third-party library if you don't want to write the API bindings yourself.
What are some alternatives?
