go gui

Is html the only gui for go (for now). Cos the only gui application I
see written in go is the twitter client which runs in a web browser.

Yes. Go is intended as a server-side language, so HTML/AJAX is the GUI
of choice.

Go comes with an http server and a template language, so making a web
GUI is quite simple.

For anything else, you would have to wait until someone releases a Go
windowing kit. Doesn't look like the core team will, but there are
probably others who would want one.

For myself I can't see the problem with web GUIs - they are an order
of magnitude quicker and simpler to implement than native GUIs, and
the differences between browsers are trivial compared to the challenge
of porting a Windows GUI to Linux, Mac or iPhone.

There are already some options: http://go-lang.cat-v.org/library-bindings

And I'm sure Go specific solutions for guis will appear sooner or later.
