Productivity-focused updates include optimized project scanning, resulting in faster project opening times. Additionally, the IDE now lets you perform more actions even before it completes indexing.
Developer experience now features a refreshed user interface with customizable elements and improved navigation. For those working with cloud-native applications, the integrated Kubernetes plugin will be a valuable addition. Learn more about these DX and UX updates on our website.
Remote development and Infrastructure as code now provide enhanced remote development workflows, a near-native development experience for dev containers, and improved support for Terraform.
Migration flexibility makes things easier for users transitioning from other editors since we fully understand the importance of familiar workflows. You can seamlessly transfer your settings from Visual Studio Code to GoLand upon first launch by using the Import Settings dialog. If you’re a Vim user,you can keep all your keyboard flows in GoLand with the IdeaVim plugin and your Vim configuration files.
In this post, we’ve highlighted only the most significant and anticipated enhancements. For a complete rundown of the new features, visit our What’s New page.
