History of Go
Created By: Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson at Google.
First Released: November 2009.
Official Release (v1.0):March 2012.
Design Philosophy: Inspired by the shortcomings of C/C++ in large-scale software, with a focus on simplicity, speed, and readability.
Key Features of Golang
Simple and Clean Syntax: Easy to read and write; encourages clean code.
Compiled Language: Compiled into machine code, resulting in faster execution.
Static Typing: Detects type errors at compile time, enhancing reliability and maintainability.
Core Concepts in Go
Packages: Modular code organization; every Go file belongs to a package
Goroutines:Functions that run concurrently using go keyword
Channels: Communication mechanism between goroutines
Interfaces: Allow polymorphism; defines behavior via method signatures
Structs: Lightweight alternatives to classes; define composite data types
Tooling and Ecosystem
go build: Compiles the source code.
go run: Compiles and runs code directly.
go fmt: Formats code automatically.
go mod: Manages dependencies (introduced in Go 1.11).
Advantages of Golang
Performance: Almost as fast as C/C++.
Built-in Concurrency: Ideal for building scalable, concurrent apps.
Garbage Collection: Automatic memory management.
Great for Microservices: Lightweight and fast.
