I’ve started learning Go lang. It seems to be built by the right people with the right expectations. So, the first thing I did was install go on Mac with Homebrew.

First of all export some paths, and save them in your .zshrc or .bashrc files for easy use. Use sudo if you get error.
# Go developmentexport GOPATH="${HOME}/.go"export GOROOT="$(brew --prefix golang)/libexec"export PATH="$PATH:${GOPATH}/bin:${GOROOT}/bin"test -d "${GOPATH}" || mkdir "${GOPATH}"test -d "${GOPATH}/src/github.com" || mkdir -p "${GOPATH}/src/github.com"Then finally install go, with Homebrew.
brew install go
Also a bunch of dev tools!
go get golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc
go get github.com/golang/lint/golint

I’m a big fan of VSCode, and have also started making a course on helping you become a Visual Studio Code Power user. So, I’ll be using that for writing/coding with go.

And we’re done. Let me know if you have any issues.
Peace! ✌
