Why I Love Golang

• It is a simple language. Simpler than python, ruby, JavaScript.
• It is a widely used. For each of haskell lisp clojure julia jobs, there are one thousand golang jobs.
• It support practical functional programing well. (function can return function or take function as args.)
• It is fast. Comparable to C, C++.
• Golang doc is the best. Clear, concise, well organized, easy to find stuff. (far better than python, haskell, docs.)
• It can be run as high-level lang like python, ruby (with auto memory management). Write code and run it without compiling step.
• Golang is also compiled like C, C++ . You can send compiled blob to friends, and it runs in Mac, Microsoft Windows, linux, without installing golang.
• Golang is also a low-level system lang like C++ by design. You can use it to do network programing, servers.
• It support concurrent programing well, by a simple, easy-to-understand model of goroutine.
