Is there a good (say, produced by JetBrains) IDE for Go yet?

Edit: http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/?idea&id=5047

Asking the wrong person for that one - I just use Vim ;-)

I do use a few of the Go scripts (https://github.com/robmccoll/dotfiles). There are some really nice ones (continuous build, syntax checking, continuous testing, etc), but most of what I work on has longer build times due to linking in a good bit of C.

I'll work with the latest commits from https://github.com/go-lang-plugin-org/go-lang-idea-plugin/co... every day (fresh compiled) and it is getting better and better!

Those guys are doing an awesome job.

There is not yet a need for a Go-specific IDE by JetBrain.

Does it support Go 1.4? In Jan/February it was still only compatible with previous Go versions - the stable release.

I only work with Go 1.4 :-)

I was aware that the plugin didn't support for a long time the new Go structure. But with the overall refactoring it works now perfect.

It's worth noting that a number of JetBrains employees seem to be working on this plugin every day [1]. I suspect we'll see a proper JetBrain Go IDE before too long.

I use Eclipse with the Goclipse plug-in. I still have the command prompt on the side for some stuff but the plug-in covers a fair bit of what you need to get done...
