Go is an open source programming language created by Google in 2009. It is commonly used for web applications, but can also be used to build desktop, server, and mobile apps. Go’s primary distinguishing feature is its focus on simplicity, clarity and efficiency.
Go is a statically typed language with a syntax loosely derived from C, but it has flexible types and its own built-in type system. It’s commonly used for server-side applications where concurrency is important, such as microservices or serverless computing.
