Go is a compiled, statically typed programming language similar in syntax to C. Also referred to as “Golang”, Go is well-known for its performance in networking and multiprocessing.
Originally designed at Google, Go version 1.0 released in March 2012 as a public open source project. Today, it is an extremely popular project with over a thousand contributors from the community. Go’s design makes it popular for building concurrent programs, with features built into the language like goroutines and channels.
