GoForms is a GUI programming framework designed for use with the Go language. It provides similar functionality to WinForms.

• It simplifies window message handling.
• It includes object-oriented wrappers for common controls.
• It features a layout system.
• It includes a drawing package based on the gdiplus technology.

• Lightweight Functions: UI functions should be simple wrappers over the native parts of the system.
• Lightweight Objects: UI objects should not maintain unnecessary state data if they are already contained in the underlying native components.
• Easy to use API: The API should be designed to accommodate the syntax of Go,
  making function calls smooth and concise.
• Easy to extend: The code should follow an object-oriented style, allowing for component inheritance and overriding.

  While OOP may not be widely embraced, particularly within the Go community, I think it offers a suitable approach for this framework.
