The Go language originated as an experiment by a few google engineers with the intention to take all the positive characteristics of existing languages and resolve the common criticism.
Go is meant to be statically typed scalable language like C++ or java while also being productive and readable; Go tries to avoid the repetition of too many mandatory keywords
== Understanding the language ==
'''Syntax'''
Optional concise variable declaration and initialization
x := 0 not int x = 0
Remote package management
go get
'''Problem Approaches'''
Built-in concurrency primitives!
Light-weight processes, channels and select statements
Uses interface system instead of virtual inheritance
'''Function returns'''
Functions may return multiple values, and returning a result, err pair is the conventional way a function indicates an error to its caller in Go.
== Concurrency ==
making progress on more than one task simultaneously is known as concurrency.
'''Concurrency is not parallelism!'''
