Why you should use Golang for your next project
Hi!
I have been doing a lot of things with Golang, Its pretty different from anything I've used before its got its quirks (like lack of version control) but I have fallen in love with it. So for Today I decided to give you 5 reasons to use Golang in your next project!
Reason 1: Its blazing fast
The Above goes for a lot of programming languages, Golang is fast because it is compiled. Unlike JavaScript and Python which are interpreted (Meaning it works its way through the code and when it encounters an error crashes). Unlike Interpreted languages the Go compiler will find any errors in the code before-hand so when you deploy it you know it will not crash unexpectedly
Reason 2: Built in Webserver
This may not be too interesting for the Systems Programmer, but for web-development this is something brand new. Golang has an amazing http and web package. If you want to read more about it you can some examples of it here
Reason 3: Backed by Google
Golang was created at Google back in 2007. It was created to fix some issues they had and to be capable of all the low-level tasks C++ (Which they use for their data-parsing) and higher level tasks too! Google has recently been converting their python code into Go, so you know its reliable if one of the data giants is using it
Reason 4: Systems Programming
While there have not been any operating system made in Golang yet, It is entirely possible as Go is a systems programming language. Obviously Operating Systems take time and you won't build the next Windows overnight but its something you can have fun with if you are into that stuff.
Reason 5: Its not JavaScript, C++, C# or Java
THIS is my number 1 reason for using Golang. Its not Java, C#, C++ or JavaScript and that makes it worth using in my opinion.
