Talks

• “Go support for Vim” by Andrew Radev

  Go is an interesting language in many respects, and one of them is tooling. Unlike many other languages, Go attempts to ship with various tools for code parsing and rewriting, to make it feasible to use IDE-like functionality with any editor or IDE, simply by invoking tools on the command-line.

  I’d like to demonstrate my own fork of the Go Vim support, talk about what Google has provided and what kind of experiments I’ve done with it. I’ll also show some interesting Go tools and how they can be integrated into Vim, like code completion, finding definitions, the “Go Oracle”.

  Even if you don’t know anything about Go, I hope it will turn into an interesting discussion about language support and tooling in general.
