After seeing how pretty Windows 11 applications are, I've been trying to create Windows desktop applications using Go or Rust but I have no idea what the Windows GUI API looks like and am unable to find/create bindings.

Linux's GTK4 is pretty easy to use, it's like vanilla JS and it's easy to get started.

Microsoft made it really hard to get started, and I gave up not long after I started.

The best place to start for you is https://github.com/microsoft/windows-samples-rs

UI example is: https://github.com/microsoft/windows-samples-rs/tree/master/...

You will likely need to use the Windows UI Library (WinUI).

Documentation is here:

I think WinUI2 is either deprecated or soon will be. There is WinUI 3.

Correct, noted on the top of the doc page I sent with links to it .... but yes, 3.0.
