I’m curious, have you tried just IntelliJ+Go plug-in ? From what I understand IntelliJ and Go plug-in = GoLand?

I’m asking because I’m starting a new job and wondering whether to ask for IntelliJ license or GoLand license. Advantage of InteliJ is that it works for most programming languages (Java, Kotlin, Python, Typescript/JacaScript: all via Plugins) and I don’t think GoLand is as flexible.

I can't speak for GoLand but people make the same argument about webstorm and pycharm too occasionally... Which I both use.

They're slightly different as a lot of the java-only features are removed and a few things are preconfigured making the initial experience great.

I value that enough to spend the extra money for the full license (all products) vs just intellij from my personal money.

GoLand is pretty much a full-featured, Go-focused IDE. If you are going to be spending all your time or the majority of it in Go code, then you should get GoLand.

Thanks! I think I will probably go ahead and do that; thanks :)
