Spanish version / Versión en Español The Go programming language, also known as Golang , was designed in 2007 (and first released in 2012) at Google in order to improve backend code productivity and efficiency. Its creators were motivated by problems they faced using C++ for systems programming. Therefore, Golang's main goals as a language became: Static typing and run-time efficiency (like C++). Readability and usability (like newer languages such as Python or Javascript). One usability concept deeply embraced by Go is automatic dependency management, like NodeJS does using Node Package Manager (npm). Golang uses the `go get` tool to automatically solve dependencies. High-performance networking and multiprocessing: The goal here is to take as much advantage of multiprocessor architectures as possible, and favor horizontal scaling (i.e. improve just by adding machines).
