Go IDE With GUI Design Support

Viewed 31010

I was taking a look on Go language, but I want to know if there is any IDE developed only for it, but that have a GUI design feature, as Visual Studio and Netbeans.

Go isn't really designed for GUIs - it's precisely designed to meet the kind of needs that Google has.

I dare say it's entirely possible to develop GUI frameworks with/in it, but it's not the team's priority as far as I'm aware.

I've been using gedit with C syntax highlighting selected and bash shell for compiling and testing. I keep the Linux version of Google Chrome browser running local copy of Go documentation. Under Xubuntu window manager I can flip the browser window up and down out of the title bar for whenever I need to look at package APIs.

Go compiles and links very fast - I'm just as productive with this set of tools as I've ever been using Java and C# IDEs. Kind of refreshing to write software with just "stone knives and bear skins".

I believe the best options for developing Go are TextWrangler, Vim, or BBedit.
