As explained in the GO official documentation "Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software". Created on a whiteboard in 2007 which later became open source in 2009. Go is the collaboration of many different programmers that were tired of the chose that they had to make between languages. Either they chose efficient compilation, efficient execution, or ease of programming; no mainstream languages had all three of these characteristics. Thus Go was created, a way to combine all three of these into one and at its core Go had support for networked and multicore computing."
