How Go taught me to love building apps again
summary
Claims Go plus the Fyne toolkit builds native apps from one codebase, produces static binaries, and supports desktop, mobile, browser (WASM) and embedded targets; the project hits 21,000 GitHub stars. Demo shows a working markdown editor created with a few lines of Go and three extra wiring lines, packaged with Fyne package and cross-built via Docker using fyne cross. Widgets are unit-tested with the standard test package and testify; tests run headless and fast.
