* Description :unfold:
This module adds [[https://golang.org][Go]] support, with optional (but recommended) LSP support via
[[https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/master/gopls/README.md][gopls]].

- Code completion (~gocode~)
- Documentation lookup (~godoc~)
- Eldoc support (~go-eldoc~)
- REPL (~gore~)
- Syntax-checking (~flycheck~)
- Auto-formatting on save (~gofmt~) (requires [[doom-module:][:editor format +onsave]])
- Code navigation & refactoring (~go-guru~)
- [[../../editor/file-templates/templates/go-mode][File templates]]
- [[https://github.com/hlissner/doom-snippets/tree/master/go-mode][Snippets]]
- Generate testing code (~go-gen-test~)
- Code checking (~flycheck-golangci-lint~)

** Maintainers
*This module needs a maintainer.* [[doom-contrib-maintainer:][Become a maintainer?]]

** Module flags
- +lsp ::
  Enable LSP support for ~go-mode~. Requires [[doom-module:][:tools lsp]] and a langserver
  (supports gopls). Highly recommended, as the non-LSP experience is deprecated
  (and poor).
- +tree-sitter ::
  Leverages tree-sitter for better syntax highlighting and structural text
  editing. Requires [[doom-module:][:tools tree-sitter]].

** Packages
- [[doom-package:][company-go]] if [[doom-module:][:completion company]] (DEPRECATED)
- [[doom-package:][flycheck-golangci-lint]] if [[doom-module:][:checkers syntax]]
- [[doom-package:][go-eldoc]]
- [[doom-package:][go-gen-test]]
- [[doom-package:][go-guru]]
- [[doom-package:][go-mode]]
- [[doom-package:][gorepl-mode]]
- [[doom-package:][go-tag]]
