Golang (also known as Go) is a programming language created by Google in 2007. It was designed to be simple, efficient, and modern, with a focus on concurrency and scalability.
Some key features of Golang include:
- Fast compilation times
- Garbage collection for memory management
- Built-in concurrency support through goroutines and channels
- Static typing with type inference
- Safe memory access through pointers that cannot be dereferenced accidentally
Golang is commonly used for developing network services, web applications, command-line tools, system software, and other high-performance applications. Its simplicity and ease of use make it popular among developers who value productivity and maintainability.
