  • Go Playground Improved
    1 project | /r/golang | 22 Mar 2023
    There's https://goplay.tools/ which has many nice features (code completion and live error feedback), wonder why it's not become more popular.
  • HTTPS Reverse Proxy Using Echo
    1 project | /r/golang | 28 Feb 2023
    Better yet, can you reproduce the problem at, say, https://goplay.tools/?
  • How to test three lines of Go (vscode)
    1 project | /r/golang | 27 Jan 2023
    Or you can go to the Better Go Playground https://goplay.tools. It has intellisense and syntax highlighting.
  • Preparing for Golang Developer Interview
    1 project | /r/golang | 16 Jan 2023
    https://goplay.tools/ has a bunch of great snippets to review
  • Are We Wasm Yet - Part 1
    7 projects | /r/golang | 21 Mar 2022
    If someone interested to play with WASM capabilities, I've been working on custom playground that supports WebAssembly - https://goplay.tools.
  • A better version of Go Playground
    4 projects | /r/golang | 28 Feb 2022
    Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Apologies if my previous post looks like trying to push you into a particular direction; this wasn't my intention. Stay with your roadmap, goplay.tools is already super useful. If I need something extra I should really consider trying to contribute that – although I must admit I don't have much time either. But I'll keep it in mind.
  • Looking for an interesting project to contribute
    20 projects | /r/golang | 15 Jan 2021
    Hello, I'm looking for contributors for my FOSS project - https://github.com/x1unix/go-playground.

GNU/Emacs go-mode

Posts with mentions or reviews of GNU/Emacs go-mode. We have used some of these posts to build our list of alternatives and similar projects. The last one was on 2022-01-25.
  • go-mode.el: Emacs mode for the Go programming language
    1 project | /r/planetemacs | 27 Jan 2022
  • setting up emacs for go programming language
    4 projects | /r/emacs | 25 Jan 2022
    It seems that most Go utilities have been submerged into gopls, the LSP server. So a lot of older websites that suggest how to configure go-mode might be outdated, because of the cultural shift away from the unix-ish little, collaborative utilities approach. This means you will need a LSP client -- the Go project has some documentation on that. I'd strongly recommend Eglot, if you are uncertain what to use(0). This page explains how to install gopls with your Go toolchain.
  • Is there an emacs equivalent of "Dash.app" ?
    6 projects | /r/emacs | 7 Aug 2021
    I haven't used Dash, so I don't know the specifics of what it works, but if it works like running pydoc or godoc or whatever Java has inside your text editor, here is a plugin for pydoc inside emacs and here's another for godoc (as part of a larger mode for go). I just tested godoc and it seems to work fine, if a little too basic.
  • How can I use the Go language on emacs?
    3 projects | /r/golang | 24 Apr 2021
    This question makes very little sense to be honest. Try using spacemacs. It has a go language server runner. Otherwise try this https://github.com/dominikh/go-mode.el
