Following are the benefits of using Go programming:
- Support for environment adopting patterns similar to dynamic languages. For example type inference (
x := 0
is valid declaration of a variablex
of typeint
). - Compilation time is fast.
- In built concurrency support: light-weight processes (via goroutines), channels, select statement.
- Conciseness, Simplicity, and Safety.
- Support for Interfaces and Type embedding.
- The go compiler supports static linking. All the go code can be statically linked into one big fat binary and it can be deployed in cloud servers easily without worrying about dependencies.
