fyne VS qt

>> Of course, Java still has its strengths, and for certain projects, it remains a solid choice. But for cloud-native applications, Kubernetes tooling, and our self-hostable software distribution platform, Go just feels like the right tool for the job.

Yeah. I see Android app development is still mostly dominated by Java/Kotlin. Of course you can do it with Go, e.g: https://fyne.io/

Yes, if I wanted to use Go to create desktop applications there are other possibilities (native or not). I would mention Fyne and go-gtk. Fyne is a GUI framework that allows the creation of native apps easily and although they may have an elegant design, the capabilities of the framework are somewhat limited or require a great effort from the developer to achieve the same thing that other tools and/or languages ​​would allow you to do easily. I can say the same about go-gtk, which is a Go binding for GTK: yes, it is true that you will get native applications whose limits will be in your own capabilities, but getting into the GTK library is like going on an expedition through the jungle 😰…

It would have been helpful to have some info on what exactly fyne is. A quick search brought me here: https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne

The rye version looks much nicer both to read and write.

Go has an io library that enables a developer to access the host file system. Building a GUI application that interacts with the native file system requires the developer to try to make the user experience the same, or similar, across platforms. We want a user to be able to work with the application without having to learn multiple ways to respond to application prompts to open files. Fortunately, fyne.io provides a fairly robust cross-platform toolset with which to accomplish this task.

The CPU monitor dashboard layout was fairly straightforward using the fyne.io framework. Like most GUIs, you create all your display objects and widgets, add containers for structuring the objects in columns, rows, and grids, and then place the containers into a window. I set up some control buttons with associated functions that get invoked when they are pressed. I also set up some label widgets to display specific CPU fields and data. I decided that it would be simpler for displaying memory if I pre-formatted memory in blocks of strings before placing them in containers. I created an UpdateAll() function that the controller called whenever it had new data to display.

Do these not work? (I haven’t tried them - non-rhetorical question.)

Could try looking at wails. I don’t really ever do any GUI programming, especially in Go. But it and Fyne are probably gonna be your best, easiest route. Though, I do know there are also bindings for Qt

Well, of course it does exist, you cannot use github URL like that, this one works https://github.com/therecipe/qt/tree/master/widgets.

I know of https://github.com/therecipe/qt, but I've no experience using it, so not sure how well it works. But normally if you feel handy with Go, I guess it should be easier than switching your development stack to C++.

there is also 3rd party examples list on their github pages https://github.com/therecipe/qt/wiki/Getting-Started#3rd-party-examplesdemosapplications
