    What is Go (Programming Language)?

    Go, also called golang, is a programming language initially developed at Google in 2007 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson. It is a statically-typed language with syntax loosely derived from that of C, adding automatic memory management, type safety, some dynamic-typing capabilities, additional built-in types such as variable-length arrays and key-value maps, and a large standard library.

    Faster than other scripting languages like Python.

    Fast, stable, open-source, simple, robust, easy to write parallel code, Ubuntu desktop contains Go compiler out of the box, AWS has SDK for Go (and other companies also), compiles to single binary (in order to run do not requare neither virtual machine like Java or Python - operating system only), cross-compilation (to another OS).

    I like it due to its simplicity and yet powerful abstractions to create backend services.
