Ironic that it has an in-window file menu and is currently macOS only. Usually it's the Linux/Windows apps that are ported to macOS that have this.

How does it compare to Goland?

I like that it is written C/C++. I remember Eclipse was written in Java, and I thought that was really cool. Java to edit Java.

Interesting choice to forego language server protocol.

Has that been a performance bottleneck?

Cool! Finally an IDE not based on electron or java! There has been another one but it was abandoned many years ago.

Funny that you mention it, I was surprised that it wasn't written in go ( but I don't really care about the language it's written in.)

Been using LazyVim for professional go development for over a year now. I can't see any features promised here that I do not already have. LazyVim is a NeoVim configuration for those who don't know. Together with the golsp its insane how good it is. Sometimes I miss those heavy refactoring functions that Jetbrains provide though, like extract function etc.

Eclipse was less cool once you had to use it. Only IDE to have a restart option in the file menu, for when it got confused.

Absolutely agree. LunarVim is my NeoVim configuration of choice and 90% of my usual workflow is present and with the missing rest I can still manage to be productive enough.

I don't see not having LSP as a positive aspect to mention by their IDE.
