## What it is
A Go language support plugin for IntelliJ-based IDEs, providing IDE features like syntax highlighting, navigation, and debugging. It is officially unmaintained and superseded by JetBrains' official Go plugin and GoLand.

## Use cases
- add Go language support to IntelliJ IDEA
- write and debug Go code in PyCharm or WebStorm
- get Go syntax highlighting and code navigation in JetBrains IDEs
- run and debug Go tests from an IntelliJ-based IDE

## When to choose
- you are stuck on an old IntelliJ 2016.x-era IDE without access to the official Go plugin
- you need to maintain or fork a legacy IntelliJ Go plugin codebase

## When to avoid
- you use any modern IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, GoLand, or Android Studio - use JetBrains' official Go plugin instead
- you need Go 1.9+ support, smart completion, or modern debugger features
- you expect bug fixes or new features

- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
