What's a good IDE for Go? Something that's snappy and fast, no Java dinosaurs please





I mean GoLand is pretty good, but I do also like IntelliJ, so YMMV if you don't like the JetBrains products. And it isn't free.

VSCode is also really good for Go, I was surprised. There are plugins that massively help with testing, syntax checking, error handling, etc. I think it actually catches more issues than GoLand!


I've tried VSCode but it seems to require you to install Go... It can't even find the declaration of a variable or the definition of a function without Go, while Sublime can.

Visual Studio Code with the official go extension is really great and snappy

Emacs with go-guru.
