Learning OpenGL by Go Language.

For some reason, Java version (JOGL) is not maintained for now.

You should install Go Language. We suppose to use opengl binding go-gl to do this. This is my environment config.

$ go version
go version go1.13.14 darwin/amd64

Set up your go, modified GOROOT, GOPATH in your ide. I choose Jetbrains' intelliJ IDEA. What you only need to do is to add Go Language support via Marketplace in plugin and to config your SDK, GOPATH and GOROOT.

Install your go-gl

Use official Go package manager to fetch the go-gl package. Of course you will need glfw as well. Maybe you need proxy in China.

$ go get -u github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.2/glfw
$ go get -u github.com/go-gl/gl/v{3.2,3.3,4.1,4.2,4.3,4.4,4.5,4.6}-{core,compatibility}/gl
$ go get -u github.com/go-gl/gl/v3.1/gles2 
$ go get -u github.com/go-gl/gl/v2.1/gl
$ go get -u github.com/go-gl/mathgl

Use your go-gl
