Created by some of the brilliant minds from
Google, Go is an amazing programming language — it is light-weight, open
sourced, and suited for today’s microservices architectures. The Golang
programming language has become a popular language for developers of all kinds.
Talking about programming, every coder needs a
perfect, reliable integrated development environment (IDE) for hassle-free
coding experience. An IDE is one of the most extremely useful tools when
coding. If in case you don’t know, what is an integrated development
environment (IDE), an IDE is a software suite that consists of basic tools
required to code software. Usually, an IDE consists of a code editor, a
compiler or interpreter, and a debugger. The coder writes and edits the code in
the editor, then the compiler translates the code into a readable format (which
is executable for a computer). And finally, the debugger tests the code and
look for issues or bugs.
Vim
Written in C and Vim Script, Vim is a highly
configurable, advanced text editor that provides the power of the Unix editor
‘Vi’, with a more complete feature set. Simply put, it is an improved version
of the vi editor. Initially released in November 1991, Vim is also called as
“programmer’s editor.” Over the years, it has become so popular that many
consider it a complete IDE. That’s is not all, in 2006, Vim was voted one of
the most popular editors; in 2015 the Stack Overflow developer survey also
stated that Vim is the third most popular text editor. And last years, it
bagged the place of the fifth most popular development environment.
Talking about Go coding, Vim’s
vim-go plugin comes with all the required elements to provide a hassle-free and
smoother environment for Go developers.
Some of the features are:
- Persistent
- multi-level
undo tree
- extensive
plugin system
- support
for hundreds of programming languages and file formats
- powerful
search and replace
- integrates
with many tools.
JetBrains
GoLand
GoLand is a commercial
IDE with coding assistance and tool integrations specific for the Go language
(it extends the IntelliJ, a Java IDE). The GoLand IDE is designed in such a way
that it analyzes the source code, looking for connections between symbols and
provide code completion, quick navigation, clever error analysis, formatting,
and refactorings.
The latest GoLand version,
GoLand 2018.3 comes with additional features that include:
- Change
Signature refactoring
- Testify support
Additional tools in the debugger:
- new
code inspections and intention actions
- improved
code completion
- support
for diagrams
- updates
for VCS, Docker, and Kubernetes.
Eclipse
When we talk about IDEs, we
cannot ignore Eclipse,
Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE) is one of the most widely used
Java IDEs. Eclipse is definitely one those IDEs that developers use when they
start out with coding. Having a plug-in architecture that offers a great deal
of power, flexibility, and extensibility, Eclipse over the years have gained
tremendous popularity. Now, with the GoClipse (which
is an Eclipse extension that adds IDE functionality for the Go programminglanguage), Go coders can use Eclipse IDE for their programming. Also, both the
Eclipse IDE and GoClipse plugin are not only free but also open source.
Some of the GoClipse features:
- a
source code editor
- a
project wizard and builder to help report in-editor build errors
- a
fully featured GDB debugger support.
Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is
a source code editor that works on Windows, Linux, and macOS. The IDE is free
and open source and it was released under the permissive MIT License. According
to the Stack Overflow 2018 Developer Survey, Visual Studio Code was ranked the
most popular development tool.
For Go coder, Visual Studio Code
comes with a Go extension — the plugin, vscode-go has a number of Go tools that
offers Go coders language features such as IntelliSense, code navigation,
symbol search, bracket matching, snippets and many more. Also, Visual Studio’s
VS Code offers support for dozens of languages.
LiteIDE
Authored by visualfc,
directly targeting to Golang, LiteIDE is
a simple, open source Go IDE. The IDE is created in such a way the working with
it feels similar to IDEs like Visual Studio. As the IDE is completely Golang
focused, its features are considered to most comfortable for Golang coders.
Its features include:
- configurable
build commands
- advanced
code editor
- extensive
Golang support
- code
management
- gdb
- Delve
debugger
- auto-completion
and theming with WordApi
- MIME
type based system etc.
