This is the first release of a new Go framework built around the Tree as a core data structure (Ki = Tree in Japanese), which includes as its first application a fully-native Go GUI (built on top of a modified version of the Shiny OS-specific backend drivers, supporting Mac, Linux, and Windows so far). Building on the central idea in Go that having a few powerful data-structures is essential for making many problems easier to solve, the GoKi trees are an attempt to provide a powerful tree structure that can support things like scene graphs, DOM’s, parsing trees, etc. The GoGi graphical interface system is a kind of “proof is in the pudding” test, which weighs in at under 20k LOC and provides a reasonably full-featured GUI — with a bit more work it should be able to do most of the stuff you can do in Qt, and already includes a (self) reflection-driven GUI designer. The overall design is an attempt to integrate existing standards and conventions from widely-used frameworks, including Qt (overall widget design), HTML / CSS (styling), and SVG (rendering). Rendering in SVG is directly supported by the GoGi 2D scenegraph, with enhanced functionality for interactive GUI's. This 2D framework also integrates with a (planned) 3D scenegraph, to support interesting combinations of these frameworks. Currently GoGi is focused on desktop systems, but nothing prevents adaptation to mobile. Right now the rendering is based off of a modified version of https://github.com/fogleman/gg, but I’m very interested in integrating the new rasterx system that Steven Wiley recently announced. I’d be very interested in people’s impressions, suggestions, etc, and welcome all interested contributors (there’s certainly much more to do) — it would be great if this could provide the start for a widely-supported Go-native GUI framework! This was my first Go project after many years in C++ / Qt land, and I’m excited to join the community, and have really been impressed with the language and ecosystem etc. The contrast in complexity and build time between Qt and GoGi is really striking, and has kept me going despite the huge amount of effort it took to get this new project off the ground..
