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.
