Go+QML worked okay-ish for me in a few brief tests. While Go tends to make large-ish binaries, it's not nearly as bad as Electron.


go-qml and forks don't support Go >1.6 due to the cgo breakage; some manage to compile, but with a memory leak.

There's github.com/therecipe/qt which is a full Qt binding (not just QML). You have to set-up a proper dynamic linking build process if you don't want 100MB binaries though, and the bindings require a default Qt installation or a folder full of symlinks to fake one if your Linux distro splits Qt in different folders.
