Go is an open-source, strongly-typed, compiled language invented to build concurrent and scalable software. Also to write lightweight microservices. Go was invented at Google by Rob Pike, Ken Thomson, and Robert Griesemer. They started designing Go in 2007, and it became open-sourced in 2009. Go is designed for easy, reliable, and efficient software.
