Overview

Go Language Specification document defines Go as a general-purpose compiled language designed with systems programming in mind. It is strongly typed and garbage-collected and has explicit support for concurrent programming. Programs are constructed from packages, whose properties allow efficient management of dependencies. The existing implementations use a traditional compile/link model to generate executable binaries.

Go declarations can be read "naturally" from left to right, which makes it easy to read.

These are several reasons to use Go: concurrency is a fundamental part of the language, the standard library has almost everything one needs, it is a terse language and "feels" dynamically typed, but it compiles straight into machine code, it compiles fast, and it runs fast.

Type

To deplete Go Concepts - The Type System

Go is a strongly and statically typed language with no implicit conversions. This gives Go a stronger type safety than Java, which as implicit conversions, but the code reads more like Python, which has untyped variables.

Modularization

In Go, programs are constructed from packages. More details:
