gamen: Cross-platform GUI window creation & management library in Go
gamen is cross-platform GUI window creation and management library in Go. It hides all the quirks of dealing with platform-specific APIs like Win32, Wayland, X11 & Android NDK, providing a consistent API for the creation of windows, handling events generated by platform windows & mutating created windows.

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?
When comparing gamen and go-wayland you can also consider the following projects:
purego
kawa - A small Wayland compositor inspired by Plan 9's rio.
go - The Go programming language
go-flutter - Flutter on Windows, MacOS and Linux - based on Flutter Embedding, Go and GLFW.
GLFW - A multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, window and input
qt - Qt binding for Go (Golang) with support for Windows / macOS / Linux / FreeBSD / Android / iOS / Sailfish OS / Raspberry Pi / AsteroidOS / Ubuntu Touch / JavaScript / WebAssembly
