JetBrains might be best known for its IDEA, PyCharm, and WebStorm integrated development environments, but it also has one for Go language development: GoLand. The latest version can help you hunt down resource leaks, code with multiple AI agents, use Terraform files, and much more.
JetBrains has released GoLand 2025.3 alongside similar updates for its other IDEs, including IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3. The most important improvement here might be early resource leak detection, which can help you find files, connections, or other resources that are opened in your code but never properly closed. For example, if your code opens a local file and doesn’t close it afterwards, you’ll see an inspection warning suggesting a close action.
GoLand is also getting the same multi-agent feature as other JetBrains environments. Anthropic’s Claude Agent is the first third-party AI agent supported in GoLand, and you can switch between it and JetBrains’ own Junie agent within the same chat interface.
The Terraform plugin is now bundled with GoLand and enabled by default, so you can define, manage, and provision cloud resources with code. Go is frequently used for server and cloud development, and Terraform is supported across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and other popular hosting infrastructure. The plugin provides syntax highlighting, templates, code completion, and one-click run for Terraform’s .tf files.
On a related note, deploying Kubernetes databases and services is now easier. JetBrains explained in a blog post, “Stay in context with the cluster and namespace selector at the top, and spot issues fast with live resource status icons. Struggling with missing env variables or failed pods? Fix them instantly with one-click logs and redeploy without leaving your manifest. From deployment to debugging to connecting, everything is seamless and in one place – helping you stay focused and work smarter.”
You can also now open single Go files without setting up a project, more like Visual Studio Code and other text editors. This works by dragging a file into GoLand, double-clicking the file, or opening it from the File menu or welcome screen. You can also do it from a script or terminal session with GoLand’s command/executable.
GoLand 2025.3 has also switched to ‘Islands’ as the default theme, just like JetBrains’ other IDE updates. The company said, “Instantly recognizable tabs, improved in-editor contrast, clear separation between working areas, and rounded corners create a soft and balanced environment that was designed around one goal: helping you stay focused and code with ease.”
You can download JetBrains GoLand for Windows, macOS, and Linux from the official website. There’s still no free version, like IntelliJ IDEA offers, but you can try it for 30 days before paying for a plan.
