For me it could be the foundation of a modern take on Oberon and Inferno linage of operating systems user experience, given how Go came to be, with mix of Limbo and Oberon-2.

Having the desktop environment, and given Go's stance on dynamic linking (and kind of abandoned plugin package), replace the dynamic behaviours in Oberon and Inferno commands and application extensions, with D-Bus or net/rpc.

However given the state of desktop fragmentation, most likely it wouldn't be worth the effort, only to get the feeling how it could be like.



My ambition is for it to be the best desktop for developers or people learning to code.

We are integrating an app editor into FyshOS which (although now renamed and at https://apptrix.ai) can be seen in an old video as a preview: https://youtu.be/XXmDmn-et4E?si=5n1Ao-V6dKurXzS6 (mostly from 15:30 in)


Thanks for chiming in, and the link, now I will have to waste some weekends with Fyne Conf content. :)


Perfect :) there are so many great projects and that conference introduces some excellent looking apps.

There is indeed a promising alternative to Go plugins which - very similar to the Oberon System - directly loads and runs the object files generated by the compiler: https://github.com/pkujhd/goloader.


Thanks for the heads up, have to play around with this.
