It almost seems like what you're looking for is a "React for Go". Channels may be used for the underlying machinery, but the core abstraction is the Observable (explicit model of values that change in time). For example, your label's text value would be an observable and not an "object property" that you set/get.
Disclaimer: I don't think I have a clear idea of what you're trying to do here in the cross platform sense, except that I've also used channels to build Ui components.
I think you mean Reactive Extensions since that uses observables. React(.js) is about component rendering as functions of app state and tries to get away from explicit observation. I've used Rx with some UI stuff but have not found it to be a panacea for complex applications.
I would be very interested to see efforts to implement React.js ideas on the desktop.
Yes I meant what "Reactive Extensions" does. Should've been clearer that it was a reference to "functional reactive programming" and not a specific library.

edit: "Async Javascript at Netflix" is a great talk on this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRYN2xt11Ek
