It looks quite nice also. Last time I saw it I wanted to port to to Go(not bindings) but could not find details docs about implementation. Anyone know how it is drawing OpenGL or native?

It is API agnostic, you have to provide the functionality. There are some examples using various APIs here: https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear/tree/master/demo

Nuklear isn't doing any actual rendering. It depends on other, platform-dependent code to do that. Look into the headers inside the demo folder to get an idea of how that works.

I used it once to provide a simple GUI for a some simulated annealing I had written in C, was more straightforward than I expected.

Also some for Common Lisp:

They are purpose-built for a particular engine though, so I'm not sure how generally usable they are.
