As a user, I agree, I really like downloading a single, small binary that is a full-fledged desktop app. Hell, I downloaded Halloy just because it wasn't Electron, and it looks really nice, too!

I feel like the same can be said for golang but rust just has a more pleasant way of sometimes doing things.

some of the best ways to build gui's on golang might be gtk golang bindings imo. I haven't tried qt but gtk for linux should work.

I have seen many apps also use golang as backend and flutter as frontend (warp android app wormhole or something and localsend both do this)
