+The `gometalinter` linter is disabled by default. ALE enables `gofmt`,
+`golint` and `go vet` by default. It also supports `staticcheck`, `go
+build` and `gosimple`.

+A possible configuration is to enable `gometalinter` and `gofmt` but paired
+with the `--fast` option, set by |g:ale_go_metalinter_options|. This gets you
+the benefit of running a number of linters, more than ALE would by default,
+while ensuring it doesn't run any linters known to be slow or resource
+intensive.

This variable can be changed to alter the command-line arguments to the
gometalinter invocation.
+Since `gometalinter` runs a number of linters that can consume a lot of
+resources it's recommended to set this option to a value of `--fast` if you
+use `gometalinter` as one of the linters in |g:ale_linters|. This disables a
+number of linters known to be slow or consume a lot of resources.
