Writing Gnome Apps with Swift
I remember a few years ago, a few really cool cross-platform UI libraries were starting to emerge such as libui [0] that got me excited. I've kind of lost track of them since then (libui itself went dormant for a while before this fork) so I am not sure how mature/useful they are now, but the potential for writing native desktop UIs in basically any language seemed like an absolute dream. Perhaps it's feasible for very basic things?

Zig instead of Rust.. and can it do these things?
There are a few libraries for GUI (for example, capy), and you can easily use any C libraries out there with @cImport (like libui), but it is still a work in progress.

Is it possible to build a gui which is both cross compatible and native?
It exists, at least for simple use cases. You are looking for libui-ng. wxWidgets of course also exists, but it is less a basic native wrapper than it is a complete toolkit emulating what doesn't exist where as libui seems to be more lowest common denominator (not sure but I think there might be a small amount of emulation, but not like wx I don't think).

There's now libui-ng [1] which seems to be active and already has many wrappers

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

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gomobile no longer maintained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!
What are some alternatives?
