Stable and native looking GUI tool for Go?
Fyne is just really ugly for me.. I'm trying to learn more about GIO lately (gioui.org) which seems to have a great potential. However you request is very simple: native Windows Gui. And there are few libraries for that: - https://github.com/gonutz/wui - https://github.com/lxn/walk - https://github.com/tadvi/winc - https://github.com/rodrigocfd/windigo

Golang GUI?
My experience with gui in golang is pretty bad. I took a project which used https://github.com/lxn/walk , and unfortunately the library doesn't have a good documentation. So I had to figure out a whole lot of things by looking into example snippets or via hit and trial. Moreover, it's platform specific. So yeah wasn't a good deal. By the way, if you are thinking of targetting cross-platform then some HTML based GUI library would be much better choice.

What are some frameworks/libraries lacking from Go?
Look at https://github.com/lxn/walk. While it offers a cgo optimization for the event loop, I don’t believe it’s required.

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.

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.
