In this version you will find the new abilities to control the behavior of go list, manually reload the go.mod file after you’ve made changes, and run default built-in and gofmt formatters one by one. You can also explore new Go 1.17 features, from moving the //go:build lines to the top of the file immediately (as the new syntax requires), to converting a slice to an array pointer. The new version brings changes for the VCS, such as the ability to sign commits with GPG keys, UI enhancements, a Preview mode for the debugger, and mo

Today we’d like to present you with the GoLand Guide, where we are collecting together a series of short tips and tricks on how to use the IDE even more productively. Each tip has a short video, description, and instructions on how to use it. We invite you to contribute and share your most loved tips with us and the community, as the GoLand Guide is an open-source project. It’s placed on GitHub with content written in Markdown. Please follow the README to learn how to contribute. The Guide is divided up by topics, such as Code completion, Debugging, Testing, and so on. In addition

Did you know that you can use nightly builds during the Early Access Program (EAP) to try the newest features without waiting for the official announcement? If you are a newcomer, please visit this page to learn more about the EAP and nightly builds in detail. These builds are only available via the Toolbox App and are released every day. They often do not meet the quality standards for official EAP builds and they don’t come with release notes or blog posts. Like EAP builds, they expire within 30 days of being released and do not require a subscription to use. Starting today, nightly builds

The Go language is high up on the list of popular programming languages used today. We already know that its enthusiastic, fun, and welcoming community of users like it for its speed and effectiveness, but we wanted to find out a bit more.

We love hearing from you! We love it so much that we never get tired of mentioning it in our blog posts, when answering support requests and in YouTrack tickets, in our Slack channel, and in replies to your questions on Twitter and Facebook.
