What is Go?
- Go, also known as Golang, is an open-source, cross-platform programming language designed for building high-performance applications. Developed at Google in 2007 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson, Go combines the speed and safety of a statically typed, compiled language with a clean and simple syntax.
- Inspired by the syntax of C++, Go focuses on simplicity, efficiency, and strong performance, making it ideal for scalable systems, cloud services, and modern software development.
What Go is Used For:
- Building server-side web applications
- Creating network-based software and tools
- Developing cross-platform enterprise-level applications
- Cloud-native application development and infrastructure services
