Take your Go programming to the next level with the help of JetBrains’ GoLand, a user-friendly yet specialized IDE
GoLand is JetBrains’ specialized IDE for Go developers. It provides all the necessary tools for reading, writing, editing, running and debugging Go code.
Being a JetBrains product, you can expect the app to boast the same grey-themed, very modern, and customizable GUI, integrations with VCSs, and a plethora of other useful tools.
Reliably change Go code
GoLand has pretty much all the tools and features one might come to expect of a JetBrains app. These include on-the-fly error detection, automatic suggestions for fixes, safe code refactoring, intelligent code completion, a feature called dead code detection, and enough documentation to get you of any sticky situation.
The app also features various powerful tools for running and debugging code. For example, you can write and debug tests without the need for external plugins. GoLand’s built-in Code Coverage tool is also added to ensure that these debugging tests are as accurate as possible.
Quickly find what you’re looking for
One of the best features of JetBrains IDEs is the simple yet effective navigation and search module. GoLand allows you to jump between multiple code variants (shadowed methods, usage declarations, interfaces by types, and implementations).
In short, you can jump between files, symbols, types, or find their usage and examine the most convenient way of grouping them.
Support for the most popular version control systems
GoLand is designed to work with the best and most popular VCSs out there such as Git, GitHub, Mercurial, Perforce, ClearCase, and so forth.
Of course, another great aspect of GoLand is its extensibility. You can use more than 1000 plugins with GoLand in order to perfectly tailor the IDE to your needs. What’s more, GoLand is also quite adept at working with JavaScript, TypeScript, NodeJS, Databases, Docker, Kubernetes, and TerraForm.
Conclusion
With its massively useful tools, out-of-the-box support for popular VCSs and other programming languages, as well as deep code jump and code traversing abilities, GoLand is without a doubt one of the best, if not the best, Golang (or Go) IDE currently on the market.
