I haven't tried it, but you might want to look into WALK(Windows Application Library Kit): https://github.com/lxn/walk Is designed to provide a Go-ish interface for win32.
Actually, that's mainly a UI toolkit interface. Not Win32 core . (Though a tiny bit of core stuff is included)
Sorry, I'm not familiar with Windows stuff. This library might be more what you have in mind then:

I made a few web application servers (mostly for games) and it's been a real pleasure, not to mention that my programs run for months handling millions of queries (mostly json) without the slightest problem. Using the go tool to get libraries, build, compile, test, benchmark, is like a dream. An example of what I found kind of marvelous : I had sometimes queries leading to the call to a function updating a lot of thi…
répertoire Never gave much thought to Go's UTF8 support, but this makes me think that it might've been better limited just to the string literals. The last thing I want is to patch other person's code by copy-pasting original variable and function names, because all I have is a standard US keyboard locale.
Learn how to use your ALT-keys.

#65anyone know what the time complexity of the append function is?

There should be a lot of complementary answers. Here's one.
Go is a fun language to make concise server programs that will run with no surprise (no exception hiding bugs), that you will compile without looking for something else to do during the waiting, that you'll be able to profile easily, that will include foreign libraries easily, and that will run reasonably fast (and they will feel astoundingly fast because you won't have to wait for them to start).

The "install go" link on the "Go offline" page gives "file not found: /go/install".
You do realize that telling HN is not an appropriate way to have that bug fixed, right? I know lots of Googlers hang out here, but your comment is buried pretty deep.

I don't know if I'll be able to go on with that. When I was coding in smalltalk and at the very beginning of java I was happy to use the full power of my speaking language in my programs but I had to give up my accents because most tools were unable to handle them.
Now that (on linux) most tools deal correctly with UTF-8, I try again, at least on programs that I'm sure I won't share with people not understanding French (for example French MMORPG). Time with tell but I don't take this risk at work.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Somebody really just needs to clone Apple's input method on Linux and Windows. Then you don't need to copy and paste — "é" is just one more keystroke than normal "e", option-e-e. This alone solves probably 95% of the international issues I encounter to the satisfaction of everyone involved.
