This is great but there many drawbacks. I tried Qt but needed something native-er.

After much digging got to know about gioui[1] but it also has some issues. Also Flutter[2] seems to be better fit but binding to golang is a little tough.

Nativer than Qt? You could try WxWidgets, but really unless you use the native toolkits directly, Qt is as native as it gets.

Oh yes.. I meant, completely in Golang.

And as far I know gioui tries to avoid Cgo where it can.

How is flutter "nativer"? It literally draws all the controls itself and does not use native controls? I mean it looks nice but its not native.
