About the Technology
Application development can be tricky enough even when you aren?t dealing with complex systems programming problems like web-scale concurrency and real-time performance. While it?s possible to solve these common issues with additional tools and frameworks, Go handles them right out of the box, making for a more natural and productive coding experience. Developed at Google, Go powers nimble startups as well as big enterprises?companies that rely on high-performing services in their infrastructure.
