Gopls for Go Tooling
summary
Gopls is a language server that replaces the patchwork of editor tools and promises faster, more consistent Go editing by centralizing module loading, diagnostics and analysis. It implements LSP over JSON‑RPC, uses a three-layer cache with sessions and views backed by snapshots, and runs code analysis via go/token and go/ast. Known issues include type checking with cgo and build tags; VS Code users enable "use language server", reload the workspace, or run a debug server via a debugServerAddress.
