4. nvim

   3 1 0 0.0 Lua

   

   I just pushed my neovim config. It is possible to see the usage of the lsp + vim-test + vim alias for the breakpoints https://github.com/lucagez/nvim

5. goimpl.nvim

   4 1 61 4.1 Lua

   Generate stub for interface on a type

   

   If you use telescope, I highly recommend goimpl telescope implementation. Rivals Goland's interface stub implementation. Great tool if you use a lot of interface.

6. gotests

   5 10 5,069 0.0 Go

   Automatically generate Go test boilerplate from your source code.

   

7. sqlc

   6 182 15,507 8.9 Go

   Generate type-safe code from SQL

   

   The alternative to ORM's are projects like https://github.com/kyleconroy/sqlc where all database code is generated for you from your predefined queries. It avoids many issues including having the wrong parameters or in the wrong order.

8. vim-go

   7 25 16,149 8.0 Vim Script

   Go development plugin for Vim

   

   I use vim as an editor, and I think that vim-go (https://github.com/fatih/vim-go) is a huge help, if you use the "gd" shortcut to take you to where a variable, type or function is defined, and the ctrl-T shortcut to take you back. Use goimports (https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports) as the vim-go code formatter. This will keep imports up-to-date. There are some other vim-go features that may be helpful. You can have it highlight syntax errors, for example. Not every feature is helpful to every programmer, however.
