it's just unpack an archive and set environment variables

this is my all in one introduction to writing code in Go, teaches you everything you need to know to build a simple RPC API

i recommend Jetbrains Goland for the IDE though... VSCode's awful... i have my gripes with intellij but the symbol hyperlinking is essential for navigating code 

 I'm using Geany, so far, and Qt. 

 python and javascript now they are a pain in the ass

fine if you are just running one or two projects that use the same tooling versions but man, if you want to try to use anything else, expect complications

golang tooling it's just a matter of "is it equal or greater than the version?" then it works, i now happily run 1.22 and everything even as old as 1.12 code still works exactly the same 

 Not gonna try to defend Javascript. Impossible challenge.

But Python in principle is the same as Go for dependencies. And when thoughtless undisciplined developers / package managers break module compatibility, we can fallback to virtualenv.

You seem to be saying Go's devs and package managers are more disciplined and considerate, interesting if true. Will try it out again.
