GoLand — Mac download

Go 1.26 ships with an experimental goroutine leak profiler. GoLand 2026.2.3 surfaces that data inline, so your first 30 minutes with the IDE can go straight to a real debugging task.

Point GoLand at Your Local Go 1.26 SDK

1. Point it at the right SDK. Open Preferences → Go → GOROOT and browse to your local Go 1.26 installation. GoLand auto-detects the bundled JetBrains Runtime, but confirming the SDK now avoids false errors later.
2. Confirm on-the-fly analysis works. Open any .go file and deliberately break a string literal across lines. The editor underlines it instantly. Hit Option-Enter and pick Join string literals — a new intention in this build.
3. Run a test with coverage. Right-click a _test.go file and choose Run with Coverage. The gutter turns green and red, and the coverage tool window opens. No extension needed; the runner is built in.
4. Inspect a goroutine leak. Run a test that spawns a long-lived goroutine. Stop it, then open the Profiler tab. The new goroutine leak profile flags routines that never finished — escape analysis results appear right in the margin.
5. Align your structs. Open a struct with misordered fields. Press Option-Enter on the type name and apply Align struct fields. GoLand reorders for optimal memory layout and shows the savings in a tooltip.

These five steps touch the Go toolchain, test runner, profiler, and code inspection in one short session. The rest of the IDE — Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform — can wait until you have a deployment to configure.
