Comment on FyneDesk – Linux desktop environment in Go

Comments

Go is my goto language, so it is nice to see a desktop environment using it.

Despite my interest, I am curious about the motivation for another DE. Is the primary goal to use Go and/or the Fyne library to create a functional DE? Or, is there a larger vision for this DE that Go and/or Fyne enables?

To me it looks like sn experiment: how far Fyne can Go? To be honest I am kinda amazed that any GUI framework in Go is so good already that it can be used to build a DE. The screenshots also look very decent, especially compared to earlier attempts to do any GUI in Go that I've seen.
