fixed minor typo: "go -> c++" at the end

| Dec 29, 2014 at 9:37 | comment | added | mmstick | Go does feature two really powerful IDEs, Godev and LiteIDE. Check out godev, which is much more powerful than LiteIDE. mmstickman.wordpress.com/2014/12/23/… | |
| Oct 7, 2014 at 19:11 | comment | added | jmorgan | I use GoSublime and it's great. I can't speak about the other text editors, because I haven't used them--maybe they have more features than GoSublime does. The difference between VS or XCode and GoSublime is pretty stark, in my opinion. Sure there's a gdb plugin for Sublime but being able to step through code--visually, using a GUI--can be really helpful. I like that the GoSublime plug-in gives you some of the features you'd get in an IDE (jumping to definitions in packages), but most of what if offers is just quicker and easier access to a Go-specific command line. | |
| Sep 7, 2014 at 6:29 | comment | added | Max | @jmorgan What do you mean No IDE?? There are multiple, GoClipse, GoSubslime and my own favorite LiteIDE, a ide specificly made for golang,.. IMO this answer should be edited to remove the NoIDE statement as it's both incorrect but also this is a extremly popular topic, (even more popular because this is a fairly new lamguage) and this is the #1 result I get if I google "golang game development". New people reading this that dont know much of it's background will "give up" and move on to another langauge to learn. Atleast I would'nt learn a language if I though there did't exist a IDE to it.... | |
| Feb 21, 2014 at 7:39 | comment | added | ylluminate | You know something @jmorgan that I recently thought was fascinating was the fact that some folks have been able to get JRuby performance up to almost par with Go. I was quite shocked by this, but I am starting to compare those two options. Realizing that this is not really related, I thought it was interesting nonetheless as I have long preferred Ruby methodology. | |
| Feb 14, 2014 at 3:21 | comment | added | ylluminate | @jmorgan Well that is all really good to know. I wonder if there are other options to make the overloading issue more palatable. Very interesting. Appreciate it! | |
| Feb 14, 2014 at 0:21 | comment | added | jmorgan | One downside is the lack of overloading which makes math libraries ugly... for games this could be a big deal, although it doesn't bother me... I tend to prefer a c-style library so I don't mind the lack of operator overloading. But no function overloading or generics or macros means having to make a type specific Max* function, MaxFloat(), MaxInt(), MaxInt64(), which is really annoying. | |
| Feb 14, 2014 at 0:18 | comment | added | jmorgan | @ylluminate: I honestly think Go is just getting better and better. It now comes with a test coverage package, so you can quickly see what's tested and what's not. I've found that having a decent test suite in place makes my life a lot easier... so this is a big feature for me. Go 1.3 seems like there's going to be improvements to binary size and runtime speed (specifically the garbage collector), so that's great. | |
| Feb 14, 2014 at 0:17 | comment | added | jmorgan | @Arne: Good call! I really do like GoSublime, a lot. What I meant for no IDE is that to get a visual debugger you have to use gogdb (which is a great tool), but it isn't as nice as visual studio. Here's what I meant about package dependencies and versioning: golang.org/cmd/go/… golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Import_path_syntax | |
| Jan 25, 2014 at 22:17 | comment | added | ylluminate | @jmorgan any perspective changes since Go 1.2 and seeing the Go 1.3 upcoming changes? | |
| Sep 24, 2013 at 21:33 | comment | added | Arne | can you specify what you mean by "built-in versioning of imports", I'm only awarye of the version tag of the go language itself. | |
| Sep 6, 2013 at 9:02 | comment | added | Arne | try out Sublime with GoSublime, it really feels like an IDE, and it is much more reactive than many(if not all) IDEs for Java. | |
