- 2. Features of GO ● Binaries: ○ Go generates binaries for your applications with all the dependencies built-in. ○ removes the need for you to install necessary runtimes running your application. ○ Eases the task of deploying applications and providing necessary updates across thousands of installations. (support for multiple OS and processor architectures) ● Language Design: ○ simple and easy to understand ○ “Do More with Less” is the mantra
- 3. Features of GO ● Powerful standard library: ○ Go comes with a powerful standard library, distributed as packages ● Static Typing: ○ Go is a statically typed language and the compiler works hard to ensure that the code is not just able to compile correctly but other type conversions and compatibility are taken care of. ● Concurrency Support: ○ Go Concurrency primitives via go routines and channels makes concurrent programming easy. Its ability to take advantage of multi-core processor architectures and efficient memory is one of the reasons while Go code is today running some of the most heavily used applications that are able to scale.
- 4. Features of GO ● Testing Support: ○ Go Language brings Unit Testing right into the language itself. It provides a simple mechanism to write your unit tests in parallel with your code. The tooling also provides support to understand code coverage by your tests, benchmarking tests and writing example code that is used in generating your code documentation.
