Hello,

as Milian pointed out - plugin is already in development!

It seems like Go should actually be quite accessible to add support

Unfortunately, plugin doesn't use go parsing package or gocode(mainly
because I didn't know about them when I started), but it has it's own
parser written with KDevelop-PG-Qt. Right now my priority is to implement
most important missing functionality and get source code to a more
maintainable state. But you and anyone else is welcome to look into porting
it to use third party tools.

If you decide to try it out, please be sure to give me some feedback on how
it works. I'm not a Go expert myself, so some insights would be great. If
you have troubles installing plugin check out instructions on my old github
page https://github.com/OneHundRedOf/kdev-go, just don't forget to get
sources from projects.kde.org.

Thanks,
Pavel
