About:
Go is a statically typed, compiled programming language designed at Google. It offers garbage collection, memory safety, and CSP-style concurrency, making it ideal for building scalable networked services and command-line tools.
Key Features:
  • Fast compilation and execution
  • Built-in concurrency with goroutines and channels
  • Strong standard library
  • Static typing with garbage collection
Use Cases:
  • Building cloud-native microservices and APIs
  • Developing CLI tools and DevOps automation
  • Creating high-performance network servers
Alternatives:
  • rust – Rust offers memory safety without garbage collection but has a steeper learning curve
  • node – Node.js provides asynchronous I/O but is interpreted and dynamically typed
