Creating a Hello World in Go with Zed 🙋‍♂️🌎

Zed is a high-performance code editor (IDE) 🚀 developed by the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.

It is currently available in beta and is exclusive to Mac users 🍎.

📌This tutorial considers that you already have Go configured on your machine, if you don't already have it, do it right now: Installing Go.

To create a Hello World in Go just follow the steps below:

1. Create a file called main.go, then put the code below in it:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Hello, world!")
}

1. Open the terminal and execute the go run main.go command as shown in the image below:

...And a new Hello world has just been born 🥳🎉.

Although Zed is still in a beta version, it already has several cool features, such as collaboration with your team in integration with GitHub and others…

can you make the article shorter, it still has a tiny bit of value (not much. Would be even a greater waste of time if it contained just a tiny bit less. Posting everyday for seo is great. Posting content without value is wasting people's time.
