Write Modern Go Code With Junie and Claude Code | The GoLand Blog

JetBrains has introduced a new plugin for GoLand that provides guidelines to ensure AI agents like Junie and Claude Code generate modern Go code by utilizing the latest language features and best practices. This initiative addresses the issue of AI-generated Go code often being outdated due to AI models being trained on older codebases and having data cutoffs. The plugin automatically identifies the current Go version specified in go.mod and guides the AI agents to use recent features, such as slices.Contains() and new type-specific error handling introduced in newer Go versions. Users can easily enable these guidelines for Junie and Claude Code, ensuring their code remains up-to-date and idiomatic without manual intervention. This move aligns with the GoLand team's commitment to maintaining a modern Go ecosystem.
