  I evaluated wails but it's light on features. The best non-electron solution is probably tauri.studio. It's very popular and close to feature parity with electron. You can sidecar a Go app so you don't need to know rust.

  Embed files into a Go executable

  Yep and to avoid having the front-end files in the distributable I use https://github.com/rakyll/statik to bundle them into the main binary.
