Go, pls stop breaking my editor
summary
Official Go language server gopls implements LSP, is built on the go/packages API, and replaces the dozens of separate command-line Go tools by running as a daemon that shares parsed/type-checked state and caches work. It currently provides completion, hover docs, go-to-definition, signature help and an outline, supports modules and multiple Go versions, and is maintained by the Go team with community collaboration. It is still alpha and already noticeably faster, though branch-switch file-watching needs polish.
