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.

I recently released nut.js v3.0.0, a Node.js desktop automation framework, in line with a brand new OCR plugin and improved image search
Then there’s e.g. https://github.com/go-vgo/robotgo but I haven’t tried that yet, I only know it exists. Judging from the C source code it’s also based off robotjs

Example projects using github.com/go-vgo/robotgo?
I'm trying to use robotgo to automate some work in another GUI program, but I'm finding the documentation to be a bit light and the examples to be not quite illuminating. Are there any example projects out there using this library that I could reference to learn more?
- Robotgo v0.100.0 is released, Go desktop automation

Best tool to automate GUI (like AutoHotKey, PyAutoGUI)?
So, I'm looking for other tools that let me do the same thing in literally any other programming language. I'd rather use the opportunity to learn GoLang (RobotGo) than learn AutoHotKey.
What are some alternatives?
