3D graphics library
Fair enough! There are Go bindings for sdl here, and bindings for RayLib here. Beyond that, everything go game-related that I know of is a game engine.

I wrote a simple Go->C++ compiler to use for gameplay programming. Here's a demo of its use for my game project (along with an editor tool). I show the generated C++ in the end of the video. Compiler source code is ~1500 lines, link in video description. Will do a deeper public release soon!
Interesting work Nikki, I've definitely considered going down this path once or twice with Azul3D in years past, cool to see you've gone much further with it than I ever did.

Mach Engine: The future of graphics (with Zig)
Having a nice API to programmatically work with audio, though, I think is also super important. One thing I did right with a (now-defunct) engine I worked on a long time ago, Azul3D, was put together an truly nice audio library for working with samples in various formats akin to Go's image standard library (if you've ever used that, you'll know why having a common interface to manipulation is super nice.)
