Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers
Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

CodePerfect 95 – A fast IDE for Go
If this is the kind of thing you are interested in, I would strongly recommend LiteIDE:
http://liteide.org/en/
https://github.com/visualfc/liteide/releases
It's actively developed, FOSS (LGPL), native C++ (Qt), runs on Windows/macOS/Linux, supports go.mod, and uses gocode/gotools for intellisense instead of gopls. It has integrated debugging, go to definition/usages, and some refactoring support.
