Anyway, now I have linker issue, my knowledge of compiled language can't make me far enough. I was able to get going with wails in 10 minutes last night, so I'll use it to my experiment for the moment. So I'll declare forfeit for the time being, and come back to it when I have more time learn.

omg even more infuriating when {.cdecl.} and {.nimcall.} are identical on every target other than win32. even there i've got my doubts. {.cdecl.} must die.
