Tools besides Go for a newbie
IDE: use whatever make you productive. I personally use vscode. VCS: git, as golang communities use github heavily as base for many libraries. AFAIK Linter: use staticcheck for linting as it looks like mostly used linting tool in go, supported by many also. In Vscode it will be recommended once you install go plugin. Libraries/Framework: actually the standard libraries already included many things you need, decent enough for your day-to-day development cycles(e.g. `net/http`). But here are things for extra: - Struct fields validator: validator - Http server lib: chi router , httprouter , fasthttp (for non standard http implementations, but fast) - Web Framework: echo , gin , fiber , beego , etc - Http client lib: most already covered by stdlib(net/http), so you rarely need extra lib for this, but if you really need some are: resty - CLI: cobra - Config: godotenv , viper - DB Drivers: sqlx , postgre , sqlite , mysql - nosql: redis , mongodb , elasticsearch - ORM: gorm , entgo , sqlc(codegen) - JS Transpiler: gopherjs - GUI: fyne - grpc: grpc - logging: zerolog - test: testify , gomock , dockertest - and many others you can find here

Is gomock still maintained and recommended?
FWIW, I've been using testify and mockery for years.
To answer OP directly, I am largely quite happy with mockery (and testify) to write expressive tests.

What's your favourite part of unit testing?
Best tool in the ecosystem testify. Learn about Table driven test, suite - saves your time so much with setup & teardown. Absolutely one thing you need to follow, if you see anything breaking (or bugs) add tests for that, could be unit tests or integration tests, this's of huge value and reduces manual testsing.

TIL: panic(spew.Sdump(myVar))
I use https://github.com/stretchr/testify in tests, it prints structs and diffs very well

How do you do DB preparation in e2e tests?
Assertion libraries that people seem to love: - testify (my favorite) - go-cmp is a more barebones library - gotest.tools -- I have never used this but some swear by it

What's your favourite part of unit testing?
I also use BDD (Gherkin with godog in particular) to verify and document the expected behaviour of a product from an end user's perspective when needed. I usually do this when the product also contains untested code that I have no control over when I'm working on a problem - this gives me peace of mind over something I can't control while doubling as documentation.

It looks like it is not possible to share steps between scenario's or features. In https://github.com/cucumber/godog it is possible to share steps.
