gotk3
Go bindings for GTK3, GDK3, GLib, and Cairo enabling native desktop GUI applications in Go.
What is gotk3?
gotk3 is a set of Go language bindings for GTK 3 and its dependent libraries, enabling developers to create native desktop GUI applications using Go. It provides access to GTK widgets and functionality, allowing Go programmers to build cross-platform applications with a native look and feel. The project solves the problem of bringing desktop GUI development to the Go ecosystem by leveraging the established GTK toolkit.
Go developers who need to build cross-platform desktop applications with native GUI interfaces, particularly those already familiar with or preferring the GTK framework. It is also suitable for developers transitioning from other GTK-supported languages to Go.
Developers choose gotk3 because it offers idiomatic Go bindings that integrate seamlessly with Go's garbage collector, eliminating manual memory management of GObject references. Its comprehensive support for GTK 3.12+, GDK, GLib, and Cairo, along with version control via build tags, provides flexibility and full compatibility with the GTK ecosystem.
