Why not Go when it has all!

It’s always been crowding when it comes to programming languages. There has always been fascination with the exciting features of different languages at different time for different purpose. One such wave of excitement came when an amazing initiation is done by Google by inaugurating Golang. A mimic to C language it has variant too and has key role in benefitting businesses of various industries. With the transition to adopt Golang language comes rise in software strategy and delivery in the coming times.

Golang commonly known as Go. Published first in 2009.Open-source programming language developed by a team at Google mainly Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson and the combined effort of other contributors.

Key Features :-

✓ Procedural programming language based on concurrent programming

✓ Comes with a powerful standard library, distributed as packages

✓ Generates binaries with all the dependencies built-in

✓ Brings Unit Testing right into the language itself

✓ Comprehensive Programming Tools

✓ Supports Goroutines and channel

✓ Compiled Programming Language

✓ CSP-style concurrency

✓ Supports interfaces

✓ Garbage Collection

✓ Structural Typing

✓ Statically Typed

✓ Pool of Talent

✓ Memory Safety

✓ Easy to learn

✓ Well-scaled

✓ Fast

In the nutshell, clarity and easy usage what’s lacking in other languages are its biggest advantages. Being easy for new programmers to quickly understand and adopt the language and for veterans to easily read code. It is the future of web programming by allowing all the functions to carry together which other languages do separately. There’s all void to doubt in the coming wave of golang in tools and services. Golang’s gonna rock in the coming future.
