"Go, or Golang as it's often called, was created by Google employees-chiefly longtime Unix guru and Google distinguished engineer Rob Pike-but it's not strictly speaking a "Google project." Rather, Go is a community-developed open source project, spearheaded by leadership with strong opinions about how Go should be used and the direction the language should take. As a C-like language for building and maintaining cross-platform enterprise applications of all sorts,"
"The Go documentation describes Go as "a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language." Even a large Go program will compile in a matter of seconds. Plus, Go avoids much of the overhead of C-style include files and libraries. Go is a versatile, convenient, fast, portable, interoperable, and widely supported modern language. These characteristics have helped to make it a top choice for large-scale development projects."
Go is a small, simple, fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language. Go was created by Google employees but is a community-developed open source project with leadership guiding its direction. Go is C-like for cross-platform enterprise applications and shares some rapid-development parallels with Python while differing significantly. Large Go programs compile in seconds and the language avoids much of the overhead of C-style include files and libraries. Go compiles to native binaries while offering fast build times and a simpler build system. Go is versatile, portable, interoperable, and widely supported, making it suitable for cloud-native and increasingly AI workloads.
