GO(7)

AUTHORS: Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, Ken Thompson
HISTORY: Go was designed at Google in 2007 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson, who were frustrated with slow builds and the complexity of the C++ used for Google's servers. Legend has it the idea took shape while waiting for a large C++ program to compile. They aimed for a small language with fast compilation, garbage collection and built-in concurrency through goroutines and channels. Go was announced as open source in November 2009 and reached version 1.0 in 2012. Its gopher mascot was drawn by Renée French.
USAGE: Go is a popular language for cloud infrastructure and backend services: Docker, Kubernetes and Terraform are all written in it. It is widely used for networked services, command-line tools and DevOps tooling.
