I don't have any experience in neither Vim, nor Emacs. Should I try it? Looks awesome. Also - is there any way to add Go (golang) support?

- psibi 11y ago> is there any way to add Go (golang) support? The details seems to be here: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/tree/master/layers/%2Blang/go https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/tree/master/layers/%2B...
- syl20bnr 11y agoThere is a Go layer: http://spacemacs.org/layers/+lang/go/README.html http://spacemacs.org/layers/+lang/go/README.html You can launch an evil-tutor to start with Vim key bindings by pressing `SPC h T`.
- nilkn 11y agoI personally would find spacemacs very overwhelming if I didn't have prior experience with either vim or emacs. My recommendation is to pick one of the two, use it for a while and get some experience, and then consider spacemacs.
- leppr 11y agoJust wanted to reiterate this. When I started with Spacemacs I had a few years of using and customizing Vim under my belt, yet I still found it very daunting at the beginning. The main problem is customization. Even though Emacs Lisp and the Emacs ecosystem allows for a more organized and advanced setup, there are so many options to do any single thing. Add to that the newbie-unfriendly documentation, you end up spending way too much time trying to understand how to customize things properly, or at all. Whereas with Vim, if I had a simple customization idea, I would just google it, find a solution in 2 minutes and slap a few more lines in my 1k LoC .vimrc.
- iLemming 11y agoYou should learn Vi-motions even if you won't be using Emacs or Vim. They are useful in other apps like browser or terminal too.
