Go 1.7 is released - The Go Programming Language

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it simple to build secure, scalable systems.

The Go programming language

Go may be our generation's most important new programming language. It is exceptionally expressive, highly efficient in both compilation and execution, and enables the development of extremely reliable and robust programs. It shares the same spirit programmers once found in C: it helps serious professional programmers achieve maximum effect with minimum means. Now, Go shares something else with C, too. Brian Kernighan, who wrote the world's most respected and useful C primer for working programmers, has just done the same for Go. Together with Google Go insider Alan Donovan, Kernighan explains what Go does and doesn't borrow from C ... the great ideas it borrows from other modern languages ... and how it avoids features that lead to unnecessary complexity and unreliable code. Throughout, their short, carefully-crafted code examples demonstrate today's most effective Go idioms, so you can start using Go effectively right from the beginning, and quickly take advantage of its full power. All code has been extensively reviewed by Go's creators at Google for both completeness and accuracy

How HTTP/2 Works and How to Enable It in Go

HTTP/2 solves head-of-line blocking at the application layer by multiplexing multiple streams over a single TCP connection. While HTTP/1.1 requires requests to be processed sequentially, HTTP/2 allows parallel processing through independent streams, each with its own ID. The Go standard library supports HTTP/2 out of the box when using HTTPS, and with some configuration, it can work over plain HTTP too

Just Fucking Use Go - Blain Smith

Hey, dipshit. You know what compiles in two seconds, deploys as a single binary, and doesn't shit itself when a transitive dependency gets yanked from npm at 3am? Go. The same way HTML has been sitting there since the dawn of the goddamn internet waiting for you to stop overcomplicating the frontend, Go has been sitting there for over a decade waiting for you to stop overcomplicating the backend.
