vim-pathogen bundle for golang syntax highlighting
Ubuntu 12.04 comes with prebuilt packages for go and go syntax highlighting. You can install easily with
sudo apt-get install golang
Unfortunately, the vim highlighting is not activated by default. If you already have got vim-pathogen, you can just use following commands:
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/geekq/vim-go.git
Based on the instructions from this blog
@ftharsln created a full featured golang vim IDE with identical ;-) name. Give it a try if you are looking for an IDE!
