Writing a GUI with and is way easier than with and . It also starts instantly!

oh wow! 65MB! a Hello World!

@sirber does it have to package a python interpreter?

@maxalmonte14 deno can "compile" too. binaries starts at 85MB!

@sirber so is there a Go Tk binding that people use? (Joking, joking, I stopped trying to do GUi programming before Tk seemed ancient).

@jayalane I don't know about tk. You can hook with QT, GTK and others. Fyne is native.

@sirber I suppose it is old fashion looking now but Tk is the TCL cross platform GUI library. Had windows, menus and buttons and what not. Nice callback architecture for user interactions. Would be X11/Win32/Mac whatever without the dev having to know about any of it. Maybe that can be my break thru Go library.

@sirber Does it also start instantly on mobile devices?
