Is there a gui library for Go, like Gtk+ or similar, which will produce a statically linked executable ?

The aim is to create apps which do not require the user to install GTK or any extra libraries in order to use the app.

Yes, you can use go-astilectron. (electron + go)

There is currently no 'clear choice' for GUI in go. It will depend on you needs. Some to look into:

https://bitbucket.org/rj/goey/src/master/

https://gioui.org/

https://github.com/andlabs/ui

https://github.com/goki/gi

https://github.com/lxn/walk

[Serge Hulne]

Fantastic!

I'll have a great time trying them out!

Thanks!

There's also https://fyne.io.

I had a look again at "Fyne". It seems to have improved a lot lately, in particular the default size for fonts etc seems much better!

Thanks again for the suggestion.

I tested fyne on my Mac, hey didn't crash, that's a big plus with these cross-platform GUI frameworks. The Look&Feel is somewhat different but with some tweaks it could be made manageable. But for any large text-based application with text styling and so forth  I would use Electron or a similar browser-engine framework. --Kent

There is a gtk binding, but I'm not sure if it's fully cross platform.

I've been using the Go bindings for Dear Imgui with great success.
