visualfc's LiteIDE repository has all the appearances of having been
abandoned.

Many people really like LiteIDE (including me). I have therefore taken
the liberty of creating the LitIDE organization on GitHub and have
forked visualfc's repository. Vincenzo La Spesa has indicated he is
interested in helping progress LiteIDE and has been invited to be an
organizer. If anyone else is interested in helping manage progress of
this let me know and I can add you as an organizer.

I need to find a way of getting all the open issues transferred…

For now I propose continuing with the name LiteIDE. We can cross the
bridge of name ownership and usage if it ever becomes a problem.

True, it may be nice (haven't used it), but does anyone see the irony in developing a go IDE in c++?

It doesn't just do Go. I was pleasantly surprised with its rust support and others.

LiteIDE is very nice indeed.

For a Go IDE written in Go, there is Limetext.

https://github.com/limetext/lime

It is still being written, and help seems wanted. It is intended to be a clone of Sublime text.

Emacs, VIM, and Sublime Text aren't written in Go but no-one uses that
as an argument not to use them for Go programming!

If there was a full Qt5 binding to Go, there would be more a more
compelling reason only to build a Go IDE using Go. However, whilst the
Go QML binding works nicely, is anyone going to write an IDE UI solely
in QML?

At least for now, C++/Qt is what there is. The question is whether
there is interest in working on LiteIDE. @visualfc appears to have
abandoned things, and many said they wanted to progress is. However if
those people do not come forward with work and pull requests, then
there will have been no point in making the fork.

No code-related activity from me on this as yet as I have been very
busy and I am just getting to grips with the code.

i'm glad to see that someone will continue the work. i will look around this project because i also have a related project who install golang compiler, liteide and more on Linux. i wonder if you intend to host somewhere the compiled form of the project like visualfc did.

FYI, Gibhub.com has Large File Storage: https://git-lfs.github.com/ - active for all repositories on GitHub, AFAIK.
The Git repo can have a pointer-file to the LFS file in the releases section of the repository.
Users will download the file from the LFS, but this does not work correctly with unmodified forks- here the user will download the tiny pointer-file instead.
