GoLand

GoLand provides deep understanding of Go code. It excels at Interface implementation navigation and Goroutine debugging.

When to Use

• Go Microservices: Excellent navigation between Protobuf definitions and implementations.
• Refactoring: Extract Interface, Embed Struct.
• Debugging: Visualize Goroutine stacks.

Core Concepts

Go Modules

Native support for go.mod. Syncs dependencies automatically.

Implements

Gutter icons allow jumping to/from Interface definitions and struct implementations.

SQL / JSON

Like all IntelliJ IDEs, it handles SQL inside string literals and JSON struct tags intelligently.

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

• Use “Fill Struct”: Auto-complete struct fields recursively.
• Use “Vgo” Integration: Seamless go modules support.
• Debug Tests: Right click a test function -> Debug.

Don’t:

• Don’t manually import: Usage auto-imports packages.
