Game Development in Go

I was experimenting with the idea of learning game dev with golang but shortly after starting I realized that there's very little tooling for that and I'll probably drop that project midway. Needing to make my own engine/tools/bindings on every step drained all the enthusiasm.

Would love to see something like LÖVE made available for golang

But, but, love + Lua is just beautiful. I've only messed around with it some, but it is really a thing of beauty.

Haxe is one of my biggest current interests, and Snokit + Luxe is looking better every day.

Every language deserves LÖVE-like package. It is so good.

Programming a LÖVE-like lib is an excellent way of learning a language. I did a javascript one some time ago, and it worked very well. You can find it at https://github.com/kikito/luv.js
