📚 qt - Awesome Go Library for GUI
Qt binding for Go (support for Windows / macOS / Linux / Android / iOS / Sailfish OS / Raspberry Pi).
Detailed Description of qt
Introduction
Qt is a free and open-source widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces as well as cross-platform applications that run on various software and hardware platforms with little or no change in the underlying codebase.
Go, also known as Golang, is a programming language designed at Google.
therecipe/qt allows you to write Qt applications entirely in Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, Dart/Flutter, Haxe and Swift
Beside the language bindings provided, therecipe/qt also greatly simplifies the deployment of Qt applications to various software and hardware platforms.
At the time of writing, almost all Qt functions and classes are accessible, and you should be able to find everything you need to build fully featured Qt applications.

macOS/Linux
go get -ldflags="-w" github.com/therecipe/examples/basic/widgets && $(go env GOPATH)/bin/widgets
Default version
Windows (more info)
set GO111MODULE=off
go get -v github.com/therecipe/qt/cmd/... && for /f %v in ('go env GOPATH') do %v\bin\qtsetup test && %v\bin\qtsetup -test=false
macOS (more info)
export GO111MODULE=off; xcode-select --install; go get -v github.com/therecipe/qt/cmd/... && $(go env GOPATH)/bin/qtsetup test && $(go env GOPATH)/bin/qtsetup -test=false
