Gofumpt: It's like gofmt except more strict
In the roadmap section[1] the author says it's more of an experiment with a possibility that some of the rules might end up in the original 'gofmt' tool. While I agree that Go having a de facto formatter built in is wonderful, there are some absolutely fantastic additions in 'gofumpt' that I do hope wind up in 'gofmt'

Is there any reason not to use go fmt?
No. If you want more strict formatting, you can use https://github.com/mvdan/gofumpt. Apart from using that, there is literally no reason not to use it.

go-global-update - the missing command for updating globally installed go executables
I am the author of go-global-update, the missing command to update globally installed go executables (like gofumpt, gopls, gotop, and other CLI tools you may have installed globally in your system - in your GOBIN directory).

setting up emacs for go programming language
I think that the one tool that might still be useful outside of gopls is goimports. It can be used as a gofmt replacement, that also automatically manages and removes imports. Gopls can integrate staticcheck and gofumpt, but my understanding is that they have to be installed manually. See the settings section for more on that(1).

Is there a better alternative to `gofmt`?
I use gofumpt but I'm pretty sure it doesn't wrap either (and I don't want it to so we're good)

Secure Randomness in Go 1.22
goimports has special-cased math/rand.Read vs crypto/rand.Read from basically the beginning. But https://github.com/golang/tools/commit/0835c735343e0d8e375f0... in 2016 references a time window where it could resolve "rand.Read" as "math/rand". Maybe you were in that time window?

How to find all methods which return struct "Foo" (vscode or cli)
Just a guess, but it might be somewhere in gopls https://github.com/golang/tools/tree/master/gopls/doc On this page https://langserver.org/ it says it should support "finding references"

Can Someone Explain To Me Like I'm 5
gopls was not able to find modules in your workspace.When outside of GOPATH, gopls needs to know which modules you are working on.You can fix this by opening your workspace to a folder inside a Go module, orby using a go.work file to specify multiple modules.See the documentation for more information on setting up your workspace:https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/master/gopls/doc/workspace.md.

- GitHub - orijtech/structslop: structslop is a static analyzer for Go that recommends struct field rearrangements to provide for maximum space/allocation efficiency.
