I did a quick look through. Any idea how to get a GUI? HTML via

My guess is hidden in my earlier response: GUI programming will not be
at the systems level. It will be at a service level (i.e. like the X
window system, it will be a server with a protocol interface).
So all the GO folks will have to do is write the protocol client,
using the existing X server protocol. For non-X systems either C/C++
integration (calling out from GO to C/C++) will work. On Mac and
*nix, this is not an issue as long as you don't mind Apple's X server.
Notice that none of the existing languages really support GUI other
than Java, and many feel that was a mistake .. it took way too many of
Java's development time. Before that, only TCL tried it, and Perl and
several other languages found ways to use Tcl/Tk.
