What makes Go unsuitable for UI development?

1. fyne

   Have a look at Fyne https://fyne.io

2. InfluxDB

3. sciter

   2 88 2,590 0.0 C++

   Sciter: the Embeddable HTML/CSS/JS engine for modern UI development

   

   Have a look at sciter for GUI. It is a great tool for GUI. But be aware that the maintainer does not have stable or LTS builds. You're always working with the current master branch version and every new release will likely break something or add new features (which will likely break something). I like sciter and we have it in use for commercial software but I would not choose it again because of the missing stable or LTS branches. But maybe this is okay for you and you will give it a try?

4. go-keyring

   Cross-platform keyring interface for Go

   

5. zenity

   4 13 799 6.5 Go

   Zenity dialogs for Golang, Windows, macOS

   

6. open-golang

   5 2 797 0.0 Go

   Open a file, directory, or URI using the OS's default application for that object type. Optionally, you can specify an application to use.

   

7. iup-go

   6 11 303 5.3 Go

   Cross-platform UI library with native controls

   

   You can check https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go. The Cocoa backend is still not finished but it works for basic UI. There is GLCanvas for Linux and Windows.

8. hlive

   7 7 100 0.0 Go

   HLive is a server-side WebSocket based dynamic template-less view layer for Go.

   

   I do a lot of wired stuff with server-side virtual DOM, and I've found Go a good fit. I don't think inheritance is a problem with designing a component library. I've used struct and interface embedding to share common functionality. (see Tag and Tagger, then Component and Componenter as sort of examples).
