GoLang and VSCode errors are driving me mad
I also use Go with VSCode on Windows, and I develop a rather large project. If I change many things at the same time, it may hang, so I have to reload VSCode, but that's it. Nothing serious.

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

Emmanuele Bassi: Me, a C library developer that has been doing this for 15 years: Let's try and use Rust with GTK and GNOME to write an application [a month passes] Me: Wait, am I… enjoying… writing application code? That can't be right
Sure. My repo is here, the Gtk4 bindings are here, and the Libadwaita bindings are here. Note the version combination in my go.mod, as the latest versions of the Gtk4 bindings break the Libadwaita bindings.
