Deciding between Rust or Go for desktop applications
Here's a list of Go UI libraries and here's an article about Rust UI libraries. In general, Go has a broader ecosystem, however, Rust has Tauri, which, if you're coming from a web background, will be right up your alley, so you'll be able to put stuff on the screen, while gradually learning about Rust and set up RPCs in the Rust part of your application that you can then call from JS.

May could be one of these.

Using a xib file with Go
Go doesn’t really have any GUI stuff in the standard library, but there are a few different projects listed here. I would suggest scanning that list for some Mac/xib related libraries. macDriver is one that specifically mentioned Apple.

Hello Everyone I have a question Can I make programs with go (golang)? Or it is only a web language? For example: can I make a program like a calculator or an executable?
Go code compiles to executables, and you can cross compile (make windows exe on linux for example). But like other people have said, it doesn't have any GUI packages in core. There are many options out there in the community, see this. Some though use native GUI's like WinUI, so that makes the cross-compile not so useful. Instead there are packages that use toolkits like GTK2 for cross-platform code. There is also an interesting package called Fyne that have made their own toolkit in Go. But lately I have been using a package that uses the web browser as its GUI, and it is called Wails V2.

GUI for Go
Go is a language typically used for backend related systems so as far as I know GUI support is fairly limited. Here is a list of options though if you really want to use go: https://github.com/go-graphics/go-gui-projects.

Ask HN: What is the most pleasant, uncomplicated full stack to start with?
I have built Web front-ends (React or Svelte) with Go-backend. Embed in a web-view to make it a native desktop app, or get funky and give it native chrome/menus etc. [Wails](https://github.com/wailsapp/wails) is a good candidate to start if you want to cut on boiler plate.

Task runner like go-task/task, but in pure Go, no external DSLs
Is that what wails is doing here? (On mobile)

Game Server Development: How do you structure game state for easy, efficient, and configurable access?
In a "local" environment, where an executable can be provided to someone with the entire game contents. In this case, the game won't use WebSockets, and will instead use a Go/JS bridge (something like Wails) to connect.
