Introduction to Go Language

Go (also known as Golang) is an open-source programming language developed by Google and released in 2009. It is widely used for building web applications, cloud services, networking tools, APIs and system software. Go is designed to help developers create reliable and scalable applications while keeping code easy to write and maintain.

• Built-in concurrency support using Goroutines and Channels for running multiple tasks efficiently.
• Cross-platform support, allowing programs to run on Windows, Linux and macOS.
• Statically typed with automatic memory management, helping catch errors early while simplifying development.

First Program

After installing Go, you can create and run a simple program to verify that everything is working correctly. The following program displays a message on the screen.

package main
import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Hello, World!")
}

Hello, World!
