Compiling a Go program into a native binary for Nintendo Switch™
Previously, we compiled a Go program into a WebAssembly and then converted it into C++ files to make it run on Nintendo Switch. Now, I have succeeded in compiling a Go program into a native binary for Nintendo Switch, and also running a game there. I replaced system calls with C function calls using the -overlay option. Also, I have developed a new package Hitsumabushi to generate JSON content for this.

Understand how to use C libraries in Go, with CGO
And this is how https://github.com/go-gst/go-gst, https://github.com/go-gl/glfw, and even https://fyne.io/ are using system libraries to propose a lot of functionalities.

3D graphics library
I'm looking for something that's relatively low-level (not a game engine) but preferably abstracts some of the boilerplate away and is cross-platform. Something like go-bgfx would have been perfect for me, but it has been long abandoned. The only real remaining option appears to be the glfw-bindings go-gl/glfw. Otherwise, I could make use of cgo to wrap some c/c++ code myself. I'm somewhat hesitant to go with glfw, because openGL isn't supported on all platforms (but realistically, I'm not going to publish anything that needs to go on mobile), and doesn't support raytracing, which I eventually want to mess around with too.
