Presentation: Go - A Key Language in Enterprise Application Development?
Share this on:
Abstract
Go’s popularity in the last few years is hard to miss. It has jumped up in the Tiobe index and is holding steady. The language has had a significant impact on the startup scene due to its simplicity, speed and enabling productivity in engineering teams. Large companies are starting to take notice. We also see a huge amount of community involvement in Go. If you have lived through the growth of Java in the late 90’s, this feels a bit like `déjà vu.’ In this talk, I will go over the Go language design and talk about why Go matters in the age of multicores and cloud-native computing.
