    Since the Goland plugin and then IDE arrived, they torpedoed the prior Golang plugin but it still exists and is Apache 2 https://github.com/go-lang-plugin-org/go-lang-idea-plugin/bl...

    I don't recall offhand what features it does or doesn't support, and certainly not GOMODULES et al but just FYI

    They did a similar "fuck you" to the Terraform plugin <https://github.com/VladRassokhin/intellij-hcl/blob/v0.6.14/L...> when they hired the developer and then made the built-in Terraform functionality basically abandonware :fu:

    And then, in some extra weird behavior, they have CloudFormation still in the open <https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-plugins/tree/idea/251....> but mysteriously it, too, is basically abandonware. Or maybe they're expecting the community to chip in and fix the bugs <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues?q=subsystem:%20%7BLang...>. I dunno.

    In the previous article, I showed the process of creating a framework for a language plugin. Well-known plugins for Java, go, Frege were used as examples. There are also examples from the plugin for the Monkey language, which I developed while I was figuring out how everything works. Since my goal was not to cover everything, the plugin covers a limited subset of the language. The interpreter for Monkey can be found here.
