Bare Metal Rust in Android
> 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/

net/http extension to exchange structs
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/

Are there any popular computer applications written in Golang?
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.

gomobile no longer maintained
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!

Is Go appropriate to develop Linux Desktop app ?
I created a couple native Windows apps using Windigo, so it's clearly possible to do the same in Linux, probably with gotk3.

Windigo for low level and native Windows stuff has been extremely useful to me.

GoLang and VSCode errors are driving me mad
I also use Go with VSCode on Windows, and I develop a rather large project. If I change many things at the same time, it may hang, so I have to reload VSCode, but that's it. Nothing serious.

Stable and native looking GUI tool for Go?
Fyne is just really ugly for me.. I'm trying to learn more about GIO lately (gioui.org) which seems to have a great potential. However you request is very simple: native Windows Gui. And there are few libraries for that: - https://github.com/gonutz/wui - https://github.com/lxn/walk - https://github.com/tadvi/winc - https://github.com/rodrigocfd/windigo
