Henrik Lissner 09cb4f6716 Major refactor & optimization of how modules load their packages Now that we are loading package autoloads files (as part of the generated doom-package-autoload-file when running make autoloads), many :commands properties are redundant. In fact, many def-package! blocks are redundant. In some cases, we can do without a config.el file entirely, and can move into the autoloads file or rely entirely on package autoloads. Also, many settings have been moved in their module's autoloads files, which makes them available ASAP; their use no longer depends on module load order. This gained me a modest ~10% boost in startup speed.		2018-05-25 00:46:16 +02:00

This module adds Go support.

Code completion (gocode)
Documentation lookup (godoc)
Eldoc support (go-eldoc)
REPL (gore)
Syntax-checking (flycheck)
Auto-formatting on save (gofmt)
Code navigation & refactoring (go-guru)

Snippets

I have mixed feelings about Go. It's a decent compromise between C and higher-level languages, is pleasantly straight-forward and elegant, but lacks native support for luxuries I miss from other languages, like generics, optional arguments, and function overloading. You've got to learn to love interface{}.

Still, Go is a remarkably useful (and fast!) companion for a variety of small-to-medium backend web and CLI projects.

Go

To get started with Go, you need the go tool:

MacOS

brew install go

Arch Linux

sudo pacman --needed --noconfirm -S go

Dependencies

This module requires a valid GOPATH, and the following Go packages:

gocode (for code completion & eldoc support)
godoc (for documentation lookup)
goimports (for auto-formatting code on save and fixing imports)
gorename (for extra refactoring commands)
gore (for the REPL)
guru (for code navigation & refactoring commands)

export GOPATH=~/work/go
