This fast and lean editor packed with features for programming in a whole bunch of languages now also has full support for working with Go.

 

Particularly impressive is the code complete or intellisense feature built-in for Go, which is superior to all code completion features I have seen so far in other ide's (also on Linux), e.g. when opening the parameter list it shows the types of parameters to enter.

 

Furthermore Zeus offers code folding, a very handy feature I also haven't yet seen in other editors, a Goto Definition feature (very nice for browsing the Go source), and a whole bunch of code snippets (templates).

 

Zeus has the same capabilities and speed Visual Studio offers, but now Go developers have it for their favorite language!

The project vitess, which is the core of YouTube's new MySQL serving infrastructure, is written in Go.

The main goal of the project is to provide servers and tools to facilitate 
scaling of MySQL databases for the web. It is predominantly developed in 
Go, and is already being used in a large scale production environment.
