Go was born out of frustration with existing languages and environments for systems programming.
Go is an attempt to have:
- an interpreted, dynamically typed language with
- the efficiency and safety of a statically typed, compiled language
- support for networked and multicore computing
- be fast in compilation
To meet these goals required addressing a number of linguistic issues: an expressive but lightweight type system; concurrency and garbage collection; rigid dependency specification; and so on. These cannot be addressed well by libraries or tools so a new language was born.
