Go is a new systems programming language from Google. Go has many interesting features such as 'communication channels' that makes it suitable for use in multi-core machines, and network programming. With Ken Thompson (of Unix fame) as one of its designers, Go has elegant and minimal design that is appealing to most programmers. This talk gives a technical introduction to Go that is of interest to anyone working in system software. [Presentation I have in 2010 - I haven't updated it with recent changes to the Go language]
The document provides an overview of the Go programming language. It discusses that Go was designed by Google to help solve their large-scale programming problems. It then summarizes Go's history, purpose, features, and syntax elements such as data types, operators, functions, concurrency using goroutines and channels. The document also provides examples of Go code and concludes that Go has emerged as a popular language for cloud infrastructure due to its simplicity, concurrency, and performance.
Go is a statically typed, compiled programming language designed for building simple, reliable, and efficient software. Some key points: - Go is natively compiled and uses static typing with type inference. It is targeted for system programming and server-side applications. - It was created at Google in 2007 to address issues with other languages like dependency management, garbage collection, and support for concurrency. - Popular users include Google, Docker, Dropbox, SoundCloud, and MongoDB. Domains it is used include distributed systems, cloud, web development, and systems programming. - Key features include built-in concurrency and networking support, a rich standard library, and fast compilation. It aims to be
My talk from Functional Vilnius MeetUp #6. http://www.functionalvilnius.lt/posts/2015-10-03-6th-meetup-announcement.html Golang is becoming more and more popular. Most likely many of you have heard of its upgraded garbage collector and possibilities to work with lightweight threads – goroutines. Obviously, Golang is quite a good choice for server-side software oriented on a huge load. As Scala backend developer, I am a big fan of functional programming and actor model. Golang seems very promising, but from the first glance, its a totally imperative language. In my speech I’m going to tell about my experiments with Golang and attempt to use it as a functional language.

Go is a compiled, concurrent, garbage-collected, statically typed language developed at Google in 2007 to address issues with large software systems. It was created to facilitate easy memory management, enable rapid compilation, and handle concurrency through built-in goroutines and channels. Many large companies now use Go for its improved developer productivity compared to other languages.
Go is a compiled, garbage-collected programming language that supports concurrent programming through lightweight threads called goroutines and communication between goroutines via channels. It aims to provide both high-level and low-level programming with a clean syntax and minimal features. The document discusses Go's concurrency model, syntax, goroutines, channels, and use cases including cloud infrastructure, mobile development, and audio synthesis.
This document summarizes some key features and benefits of the Go programming language. It discusses Go's support for concurrency with lightweight goroutines and channels for communication between goroutines. It also covers Go's syntax which is similar to C but with memory safety due to garbage collection, and its standard library and tools. Finally it provides an example of Go's use at a large company for building high throughput low latency network services.
Go is presented as an alternative to C and C++ for system programming, distributed systems, and cloud workloads. It has performance characteristics of C/C++ but also flexibility of modern languages. Go is well-suited for web development with various frameworks and is supported on cloud platforms like Google Cloud and AWS. The document argues that Go will emerge as a strong alternative to C/C++ in these areas.

GoLang is an open source programming language created by Google in 2009. It has a large community and was designed for scalability and concurrency. Some key features include being statically typed, compiled, and having built-in support for concurrency through goroutines and channels. Google uses GoLang extensively to build systems that scale to thousands of machines.
Go is a statically-typed, compiled programming language developed by Google. It aims for fast build times and single binary deployments. Go emphasizes concurrency through lightweight goroutines and channels for communication between them. While it lacks some object-oriented features like inheritance, it provides built-in support for concurrency and parallelism which makes it well-suited for backend services, network applications, and processing large amounts of data.
Go is an open source programming language designed by Google to be concurrent, garbage collected, and efficient. It has a simple syntax and is used by Google and others to build large distributed systems. Key features include garbage collection, concurrency with goroutines and channels, interfaces without inheritance, and a large standard library.
This document introduces the Go programming language, which was announced by Google in 2009. It summarizes Go's key features, including being a concurrent, garbage-collected systems programming language. It also provides instructions on installing Go and a simple "Hello World" program example. The document argues that Go has substantial features for systems programming in today's networked, multi-core world.
This document discusses the Go programming language and why it has become popular. It notes that Go is an optional language released in 2012 that does not force developers to use it for certain applications like Java does for Android. The document states that the one main reason Go has become popular is that "It just works" - Go makes development simpler by handling things like concurrency and deployment automatically while still exposing lower-level functionality. It recommends using Go for distributed systems, portable command line tools, and situations where team productivity is important.
