Development environment

Go is a compact language and it's all-around well supported on the majority of the most popular editors and IDEs.

Personally I prefer to stick with lightweight and open-source editors, plus with the advent of LSP servers, every editor can easily provide almost IDE-level development experience, in case of go, beside GoLand of JetBrains, the list ultimately leads to two main choices:

• vim (or neovim)
• vscode

In my experience both provide pretty similiar developing experience and ultimately it comes down to personal preference, I like neovim + fatih/vim-go + neoclide/coc.nvim + gopls language server, it works well and provides all the necessary, from autocomplete to refactoring and linting/code formatting.

I suggest running the handy govalidate tool by https://github.com/rakyll/govalidate to be sure that you have installed all you need or get suggestions on how to solve problems if needed.
