Re: Go 1.14

I love Go. It’s too bad that go modules broke ide support and godocs. I miss the simplicity of gopath. Edit: Go modules were not welcomed and godep was supposed to be the official dep manager: https://twitter.com/_rsc/status/1022588289461743617 Godoc is broken because of it and Rob Pike doesn't like it: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/26827#issuecomment-51584... VScode with gomodules is still bad even with gopls…

Lol there is nothing simple about gopath.

it made it painful for a while, but GoLand and VSCode both support modules at this point (though VSCode uses the gopls[1] (language server), that I've been having mixed results with). [1] https://github.com/golang/tools/tree/master/gopls

I can't speak for GoLand but VSCode is totally borked. It is improving but we regressed a ton after Go modules were released.

I constantly see this sentiment and don't get it. It's perfectly fine in GoLand, and has been for the year I've been using it. What's broken for you?

VScode:

* Function renames * Function references across packages * imports on save

Some of this can be fixed by restarting gopls (experimental) ever 20m: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go/wiki/Go-modules-suppo...

> Godoc is broken because of it

That was resolved a while ago. Godoc supports modules[1]:

For those who are following this issue because you are waiting for module support in the godoc command (golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc), please note that it has been implemented in the latest version. See issue #33655.

Any Go developers with past experience in "heavier" frameworks have thoughts on giving it a try?

I enjoy working with "batteries included" frameworks currently, and value the approach of "Here's an ORM... here's a template language... here's an auth system... use or remove them as you see fit"

I've been told that the Go standard library is fully-featured enough that it can be considered a framework in its own right, but I haven't heard how converts from the Django/Rails world feel about the completeness of that "framework"

Are you using an old version of gopls?

From the v0.3.0 release notes[1]:

Workspace-scoped references, rename, and go to implementation. These features use your workspace root as the search scope, so behavior will vary based on the directory you open in your editor

Yup, v0.3.0 here (gopls version) and still broken.

Maybe compared to writing a server in C/C++... ORM doesn't exist in the standard library. Templating is okay. Auth doesn't exist.

If you haven't already, it sounds like it would probably be worth your time to open an issue. If things like workspace-scoped references and renaming aren't working for you when they are working for other people, perhaps you have a non-standard setting, or perhaps there is a need to adjust how you open vscode, or perhaps you are hitting bug(s). My experience has been the people working on gopls are very responsive.
