## What it is
GoQt is Go bindings to the Qt cross-platform application framework, implemented as a cgo extension wrapping the Qt C++ GUI library. It lets Go developers build native desktop applications with rich graphical user interfaces on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

## Use cases
- build desktop gui apps in go
- create cross-platform graphical applications with go
- use qt widgets from golang
- write native ui programs in go
- develop go applications with qt toolkit

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained project (last release 2018)
- you need modern Go versions (tested only with Go 1.4/1.5)
- you want a pure-Go GUI solution without cgo

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: gui, ui-components
- domain: desktop-applications, cross-platform, web-development
- platform: windows, go, cpp
- tags: qt-bindings, cgo, gui-toolkit, desktop-gui, linux, macos
