A lot of people will probably not like this answer, but Go's "tools" are the Acme editor and the shell. If you're running on Windows, Acme-SAC (https://code.google.com/p/acme-sac/ https://code.google.com/p/acme-sac/, or just running Acme under "vanilla" Inferno) is a viable option, and is written in Limbo, a precursor to Go. (It still has some features Go lacks, but is roughly comparable.)
I wouldn't hold my breath on getting former Bell Labs guys to work on a graphical debugger or Eclipse support, so the language is somewhat unlikely to be developed together with those tools.

I wouldn't expect them to, and I also really can't understand the appeal of something as complex as an IDE to write code in a language as simple as Go, but Goclipse has been around for a while, and there is support for other IDEs: http://code.google.com/p/goclipse/ http://code.google.com/p/goclipse/ http://go-lang.cat-v.org/text-editors/ http://go-lang.cat-v.org/text-editors/
- krishnakv 14y agoI program Go on both emacs and sublime text 2, very good support for both editors.
