I was asked once by https://github.com/jjperezaguinaga:
I am of the impression that you have a strong love fan for Go.
What's so cool about it? I'm kind of curious.
So here are my anwsers:
- easy to learn: http://tour.golang.org took me about 15 hours to complete (with browsing documentation)
- language is easy and minimalistic
- awesome standard library
- awesome community
- easy and awesome concurrency model
- suitable for system task
- kind of C replacement
- language for solving interesting problems* easier than never before
- xml and json as native type
- everything you would do in C you can do in Go without language overhead (no more leaking memory, pointers headaches, header files)
*interesting problems for me are:
- http tools (proxies, traffic catchers etc)
- ssh tunnels
- network solution
- managing cloud (deploying, scheduling, etc)
- alghoritms
