Go language overview for experienced programmers

The Go language for experienced programmers

Why use Go?

  • Like C, but with garbage collection, memory safety, and special mechanisms for concurrency
  • Pointers but no pointer arithmetic
  • No header files
  • Simple, clean syntax
  • Very fast native compilation (about as quick to edit code and restart as a dynamic language)
  • Easy-to-distribute executables
