Go is a really good language, but it uses a GC which can cause issues (lag spikes, stutters) for certain types of applications and that's a deal breaker for me and one of the many reasons I prefer Rust.
It feels like Python grew up. High hopes for the future, still too "new" to be considered one of the greats.
It is a language that bridges the gap between performance and productivity. The built-in garbage collector means one less thing to worry about. Recent updates also bring simpler modularization and generics.
Faster than other scripting languages like Python.
great programming language
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.
