NeoVim + IntelliJ IDEA backend for Java & Kotlin.
Very experimental and rough around the edges, but already a lot of fun! 🔥
Who wants to give it a try?

go fix = 🔥
What change in Go 1.27 is going to have the biggest impact on developers? Marc Dougherty says it’s not generic methods, it’s actually `go fix` – simply because it affects your everyday work.
See what else Marc had to say at the Go 1.27 release party 👉 jb.gg/72xzcr

Amazing hearing from the creators themselves 🤝
We caught up with Jonathan Amsterdam from the Go team at @GopherConLatam to talk about the new pkg.go.dev API, static analysis, and providing better insights on package quality for humans and agents. Check out what he had to say!

Do generic methods harm the readability of #golang?
Well, the designer of the feature has you covered.
TLDR; use responsibly.
Are generic methods going to hinder Go code readability?
According to Robert Griesemer – no, provided that we use them deliberately where necessary.

I just found an interesting Go repository: github.com/nikolaydubina/go-…
If you are learning Go, spend some time here after the syntax tutorials. Learning how to check test coverage, compare benchmark results, and find bugs is also part of learning how to use Go.

Not many people know this; and you can also give it directly to an agent too. That Go Optimisation (sorry Americans) tab is full of hidden gems.
Did you know you can run escape analysis straight from your IDE?
Go to the “Go Optimization” window, choose “Escape analysis”, pick a scope, and then just click to run it.
The tool lets you analyze a single file or the whole package and choose which message types you want to see.

Absolutely gassed to be going to Kenya to speak @gophers_africa. Can't wait to say hello.
I'll be going into //go:embed, one of Go's most loved features.
