The official `go` command does dep management, (cross) compilation, testing (including benchmarks and coverage reports), race detection, profiling reports, code generation (metaprogramming alternative), doc generation etc. Build times are insanely fast too.
The only tooling I use personally outside of the main CLI is building iOS/Android static libraries (gomobile). It’s still first party, but not in the go command.
I haven't tried Go in a while, but 8 years ago, I felt the tooling was a disaster. The V1 ways of doing things were really janky, and the improved versions didn't seem to be universally adopted yet. It's nice to hear that seems to have changed.
