I’m disappointed I paid 150$ for the bundle and still don’t have support for the tool I’m working I thought it would be backwards compatible with this plugin, hopefully we can resolve this quickly.
The plugin GoSublime (or any other alternative) isn’t working, rather it can’t be installed.
It looks like the package is missing(?) from package control https://packagecontrol.io/packages/GoSublime
but the author seems to have mentioned that PC is not supported here and instead gives an alternate way of installing this package.
I appreciate it, looks like the support is already there but he is missing some other things for it to be on the sublime package manager.
Could we get anyone from sublime to help out with these minor issues?
I believe it to be very beneficial as the language is used by serious programmers and engineers, it would be a misplay to not have support for this package in the long run at least.
What does you paying SublimeHQ have to do with packages on packagecontrol.io? Package control is maintained by volunteers. GoSublime I think google paid for to develop. But at this point it’s essentially abandoned and any changes would have to come from volunteers. You may have better luck with the LSP package in combination with gopls: https://lsp.sublimetext.io/language_servers/#go
LSP (the package) is also maintained by volunteers. Some language servers are built using teams from some major companies. Hence, we can thank LSP for tapping into that effort.
I was almost going to use a very different tone, that just doesn’t make sense. The fact is that any modern text editor is USELESS without this support.
It just happen that there was someone to write LSP but very few people would stay with sublime if it wasn’t for the customization and the packages, performance and so on.
We would be still using VIM had it not been for these new packages.
That is why I think what you’ve said makes very little sense to me because It would be useless without it.
The fact that this editor isn’t TOP 1 isn’t because it is expensive but rather because of this exact reason visual studio code has presidence.
Apologies, didn’t mean to agitate you. In any case, if GoSublime doesn’t work, you’ll have to clone the package manually and figure out what is not working about it. Or wait for someone else to fix it. Perhaps an issue on their repository on GitHub is in order.
Apologies are mine, I just find it very rare nowdays as I mentioned for a modern editor not to have any support for basic autocompletion for common programming languages and I don’t think sublime hq should just get paid or that their only job is to make a text editor and continue getting paid without providing value I certainly wouldn’t have upgraded if I thought that was the case, even sublime 2 would’ve fitted me.
Agreed. I think SublimeHQ would do well to have a kind of package repository on their own. It ultimately depends on the philosophy of the company. Is ST supposed to be barebones and is every user supposed to write their own python plugins? Maybe that’s the underlying philosophy. But fact of the matter is that a package ecosystem exists now.
I have made another post regarding this issue. They can just do a base template package for a Python user that would include full-development capabilities. They can use everything already built.
This can also be the second screen after installing sublime, you choose to add basic support for Python, Javascript, Go, Rust or whatever.
That means you can start using your IDE.
But no, you have to be an expert and either use it without these packages or research online hoping that you are going to come across something useful since there’s no official tutorials if I go and type smt like “Sublime Text Python setup”.
I get a blog-post style realpython.com, where it tells me to install anaconda and most people don’t know what anaconda is… you don’t even want to know it is not and should be not the basis for most Python projects. It’s slow laggy and not that good, simply put it is not even meant to do these autocompletions… Look at what it actually does…
Anaconda is a distribution of the Python and R programming languages for scientific computing, that aims to simplify package management and deployment.
