centrifuge VS gio

BTW, Centrifugo is based on https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifuge Go library which may provide much more control and flexibility for Gophers than a standalone server and can be embedded to any Go app leveraging all Centrifugo client SDKs.

There are libraries which provide more advanced APIs for creating real-time applications, for example https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifuge

Yes, but there are two excelent libs for golang websockets - https://github.com/gobwas/ws - https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifuge

What https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifuge does:

Have you considered https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifuge? It also uses Gorilla WebSocket for WebSocket transport at the moment – but it's hidden inside and may be replaced if needed since Transport interface is pluggable. It's more heavyweight though than both Melody and Gorilla WebSocket but provides much more functionality out-of-the-box.

Not a Socket.IO compatible but maybe you will find it useful/interesting: https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifuge

Thanks! BTW, Centrifugo's core is based on https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifuge Go library - which theoretically can be more flexible and extensible solution for Go developers than Centrifugo server since server dictates some auth/permission/channel/api rules.

Hello, +1 to WebSockets. If you need to choose WS library – go with https://github.com/gorilla/websocket or https://github.com/gobwas/ws. You can also look at Centrifugo server (https://centrifugal.dev/, supports WebSocket, SockJS bidi transports, also EventSource, HTTP-streaming, GRPC unidirectional transports and many builtin features) or https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifuge Go library.

> At least with a language like Go, it somewhat makes sense, and has been attempted: https://gioui.org/

Gio UI is an immediate-mode UI, and immediate-mode UIs map very nicely to Rust. egui is quite easy to use. https://www.egui.rs/

I've been writing a WASM app using gio & I found myself wanting for a simplified web library. In addition I drew some inspiration from leptos server functions. A friend of mine mentioned it has some similarities with next.js

I am building the same but with golang and https://gioui.org/

This release of Gonum/plot is in sync with Gonum-v0.13.0 and updates the vg/vggio backend to the latest Gio API.

Historically, C++. Today, (unfortunately) a lot of (non-game) desktop apps are written in HTML/CSS/JS using Electron. There are projects like Fyne and GIO that aim to make Go a viable language for building large-scale performant desktop apps. My open-source hobby project Supersonic is a music player app built using Fyne.

It’s actually extremely easy, if you use one of the actively developed options like https://fyne.io or https://gioui.org for example. Flutter’s Dart may help with real-time hacking of UI but Go produces better code in the long run!
