On: Effective Go

[throwaway894345]

Getting your editor up and running is still a mixed bag. "Install VS Code + plugin" sort of works, but you're likely to have a ton of bugs with the plugin that need configuration tweaks to work around (e.g., "try the LSP backend"). Hopefully stuff will stabilize as workspaces and generics stabilize.

Setting up VSCode takes 2min and has 0 issues. You have nothing to do beside installing the official Go plugin.

Debugging etc ... juste works out of the box.

This hasn't been my experience at various points in the past, but admittedly my most recent foray was a few months ago.
