The android-go project aims to provide a platform (namely an SDK) for
writing native Android apps in Go programming language. All things here were
designed to be less coupled as possible, thus maintaining a great level of
flexibility while keeping things simple and easy to use. The approach and tools
are different from gomobile, but the latter has inspired me a lot.
Comments and ideas are welcome!
There are two example apps and one demo:

First of all thank you! Looks like it significantly innovates further from gomobile
Secondly there's plenty of unannounced generators. :) But still super inspiring, you
got even GL ES. Maybe some simple game would be a fun project.

Nah, there's just one unannounced generator, but with various configs (android.yml, egl.yml, etc) respectively.

Yes, I hope they'll end with some modular/layered structure one day so the framework itself will be more customizable. For example,
be able to replace EGL/GL contexts with something else and build for platform-23 would be a nice features to have. Along with 20+ other features that
currently are unavailable due to the project's design.
That's why there is app package [1] that does almost the same as x/mobile/app but using the most naive and simple way. I tried to incorporate these android bindings into gomobile (see patch [2]) and they work well. But anyways, I'd like to have much more control on the ANativeWindow and queues.
> you got even GL ES
That's a bonus. :)

There is a comment on Reddit that brings up an important issue with my opinion about gomobile:
Just to make it clear, because my original text in readme may seem a bit bullying.
