GoLang is a robust system level programming language across large scale network servers and big distributed systems.
GoLang is a C++ or Java programming language which is used in developing applications and context of Google used in networking and server distribution. GoLang was formerly written in C language but it is written in GO itself, since the syntax of GoLang is completely similar to C-language and hence it is very easy especially in C-style or Java programmers. This type of language is easier to read and write programs.
GoLang which in short form called as Go, is an open source software which is typical, compiled, cross platform and lighting programming language which was first introduced by Google in 2009. Go is a very good language for backend development. GoLang is used for many people especially today it is completely used by renowned companies like Netflix, Uber, Facebook, Dropbox etc. GoLang programming language is expected to grow vastly in future.
GoLang is a biased language which is very hard to be as popular as python. Python is an excellent for writing web applications, quick prototyping, and a development program. GoLang is very effusive to write and some languages are difficult when compared to Python, but this GoLang can be used in place of JavaScript, still not to forget JavaScript cannot develop websites.
Some of the technologists consider GoLang as the niche language and also small syntax and model which is really rapid in programming language. GoLang is compelled to machine code as the process is very fast. GoLang can also get linked with the dependency libraries into a single binary file thus eliminating the dependency on servers.
GoLang is very advance and reliable which has a good component of built in errors. This is very efficient and compiling to one binary speed in which GoLang enhances the availability and reliability of services. GoLang increases code readability through its simplicity. GoLang web development does not particularly require spending a huge amount of money on your business projects. The applications that are developed based on GoLang get compiled into machine tools. This aids in faster performance and can be compared to the applications that are developed using other platforms.
Goland developer comes with knowledge of GoLang programming language. GoLang is one of the recent additions to the modern programming language. GoLang has been designed in such a way that instead of using threading it uses Goroutine, which is similar to threading but consumes very less memory.
Like threading consumes 1MB whereas Goroutine consumes 2KB of memory, hence at the same time, we can have millions of goroutine triggered. This makes GoLang a very strong language that handles concurrency like C++ and Java.
GoLang biggest advantage is that it offers the clarity and very easy to use compared to other languages. This makes it easy for new programmers to quickly understand the language and make it easy for others to read each other’s code. GoLang validates interface and embedding. GoLang allows multiple processes running simultaneously and effectively.
Features of GoLang Language
Language Design – The language has to be designed in a very purposeful way to keep the language simple and easy to understand.
Package Management – GoLang merges with modern day developer workflow working with Open Source projects as it manages external packages. This support is directly provided to get the external packages to publish in a set of easy commands.
Powerful Standard Library – GoLang has a powerful standard library distributed in packages.
Static Typing – GoLang is a static typing language which is very complier in compiling the code successfully and also ensures on conversions and compatibility. This feature of GoLang avoids all those problems which we faced in dynamically typed languages.
Testing Support – GoLang provides the unit testing features which is a simple mechanism to write your unit test parallel with your code and this can make it easy to understand the code coverage by your own tests. This can be used in generating your code documentation very easily.
Platform Independent – GoLang language is very similar to Java language as it support independency on platforms. Due to its modular design and modularity the code is compiled and converted into binary form which is as small as possible or on any server application which we work.
