Frequently asked questions
Golang, commonly known as Go, is an open-source programming language developed by a team at Google, primarily designed for building reliable, efficient, and scalable software systems. Go was created with the goal of providing a language that combines the ease of programming of dynamic languages like Python with the performance and safety of statically typed languages like C or C++. Go offers an open-source community that contributes libraries, frameworks, and tools, expanding its ecosystem and supporting its growth. It is widely used in various domains, including web development, system programming, cloud-based services, networking, and distributed systems.
