👉 Go, also known as Golang, is a modern programming language developed by Google that emphasizes simplicity, efficiency, and concurrency. It was designed to address the limitations of traditional languages in building scalable and concurrent systems, particularly for networked applications. Go features include garbage collection for automatic memory management, a robust standard library for networking, concurrency primitives like goroutines (lightweight threads) and channels for safe communication between them, and a concise syntax that reduces boilerplate code. These characteristics make Go ideal for developing high-performance web servers, distributed systems, and command-line tools, where efficiency and scalability are critical.
