modd VS gotk3

Modd is a library that makes hot reloading possible in Go applications. To use it, install it on your machine using the command below:

There's also modd[0] which allows for many file watch pattern -> command combos to easily be defined & run simultaneously from a modd.conf file.

i was using cortesi/modd for this while using docker. Since I change to Rancher with dockerd i wasn’t able to get live reloading working again, i also tried air but no luck.. out of curiosity did anyone have a similar issue?

Interesting. I've been using https://github.com/cortesi/modd for this for a while but I'll check this project out.

me likes: https://github.com/cortesi/modd A little more flexible for various files

I use a somewhat similar approach for Pirsch [0]. It's build so that I can run it locally, basically as a fully fledged staging environment. Databases run in Docker, everything else is started using modd [1]. This has proven to be a good setup for quick iterations and testing. I can quickly run all tests on my laptop (Go and TypeScript) and even import data from production to see if the statistics are correct for real data. Of course, there are some things that need to be mocked, like automated backups, but so fare it turns out to work really well.

You can find more on our blog [2] if you would like to know more.

Gotk3 1.3k

gotk3 does the job, and is well documented.

Go gtk3 bindings are very nice https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3

I wanted to try the GTK bindings for Go, so I did all the steps for importing an external module: go mod init "test/gtk" go mod tidy go get "https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3"

So it should be simple as buttons+images+some sounds. The purpose to create this game is fun, but mostly to learn golang better. There are a lot of options now. I suppose it should be https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3 But, well, maybe you know better framework to use?

gotk3 is a good one

There are definitely libraries, such as bindings to GTK: https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3 or Win32: https://github.com/rodrigocfd/windigo

The point remains that it is possible to do these things without async/await, but Go isn’t frequently used to develop native UIs, most likely because the kind of visual UI builder tools used in Visual Studio or Android Studio have never had an equivalent funded for use with Go, due to lack of commercial support for that use case. Beyond that, web gui frameworks are immensely popular these days, further removing motivation to really “make gui happen” in Go, but there are niche use cases out there, as evidenced by the existence of libraries.

I'm trying to use gotk3 (https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3). The first issue I got was with pkg-config not being in the PATH environment variable. Cool, I fixed that. Now, I get errors about gio, glib, and gobject not being found in the pkg-config search path.

I'm trying to build an app using gotk (cgo bindings for GTK), but I'm having trouble compiling it for Windows (I'm on Linux)
