Overview

Go is an object oriented language, but the object orientation programming model is relatively simple, compared with other object oriented languages. It has been said about Go that is "weakly" object-oriented.

Go does not use the term "class". It uses struct instead, which is the encapsulation of data and methods, so the struct ends being equivalent to a class.

Go does not have inheritance, constructors or generics. Inheritance can be replaced to a certain extent by composition, embedding and interface, which support code reuse and polymorphism.
