Go, also known as GoLang, is a Google-developed open-source, compiled,
and statically typed computer language. Go is a general purpose
programming language with a straightforward syntax and a large standard
library. The building of highly accessible and scalable web apps is one
of the primary areas where GoLang is widely used. It may also be used to
develop command-line programs, desktop applications, and even mobile
apps.
Go was designed from the ground up for networking and
infrastructure-related applications. It was developed as a replacement
for popular server-side languages like Java and C++. The Go programming
language aims to combine the efficiency and safety of a statically
typed, compiled language with the simplicity of programming of an
interpreted, dynamically typed language. It also aspires to be cutting
edge, with networked and multicore computer capabilities.
Why Should You Learn GoLang?
GoLang is becoming one of the most popular languages, which means that
learning it can open up new doors of opportunity and even help you land
a job at various companies that use Go extensively.
Ease of writing concurrent programs, fast compilation, simple syntax,
and static linking are some of the features that make Go an ideal
candidate for developing various applications.
