From the go-qt5 page:

> This is a fork of visualfc's qt4 bindings, and several critical bugs are inherited along the way. Until these bugs are fixed, this package is not recommended for any real use. I don't have any time to actively work on this project, but I'll keep reviewing and merging pull requests.

I guess GUI programming in Go isn't really up to anyplace you can consider 'stable'



I recommend checking out go-qml.

https://github.com/niemeyer/qml

It is a different approach to using Qt GUI programming in Go where you use qml to define your UIs and keep the interface surface between Qt and Go fairly small instead of trying to expose the whole of Qt (which is very difficult to do in a maintainable manner because of the C++ API).

The license is LGPLv3 instead of the usual MIT-style Go license but it includes a linking exception that makes it viable for just about any use.


Which is a shame. Cross platform GUI development is really a pain point that could use some attention.
