vscode-go VS godevcontainer

Goland collapses this to a single line, and vscode is looking into it too.

https://github.com/golang/vscode-go/issues/2311

It papers over the issue, but helps some.

A quick search of the settings turns up go.languageServerExperimentalFeatures, which links to https://github.com/golang/vscode-go/issues/50

The Tour of Go is a nice playground and has helped me onboard the syntax quickly. The golang vscode extension will make your life much easier. And for testing, see here and here. Then write your own application. The first few days will be a friction as many things will be new. Good luck!

VSCodium plus the official Go extension.

Installing the Go extension in VScode should prompt you to install what's needed. Otherwise you can use https://github.com/qdm12/godevcontainer ;)

If you have Docker installed and use VScode, you could try https://github.com/qdm12/godevcontainer which sets up your dev environment in a container so it's more reproducible.

I am the maintainer of godevcontainer which is a VSCode development container for Go.

VSCode + Docker using my image https://github.com/qdm12/godevcontainer will make your setup easy and reproducible for Go. I use it everywhere all the time.

If you have Docker installed and VScode you could use my development container qmcgaw/godevcontainer, I use it for every of my Go projects pretty much and it's sort of portable.

Jokes aside, yeah I do develop code for about everything inside development container (example)

Although I thought part 3 would be about dockerizing your Go dev environment, as in your workspace. I made and maintain godevcontainer to do that with Docker and use it all the time, for anyone curious.

Plus you can run your dev environment in a container (or remotely on a machine over ssh) which isn't really the case for Intellij. I use https://github.com/qdm12/godevcontainer with vscode.
