What Does Go Mean?
Go is an open-source programming language developed at Google by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson in 2007. Although it is built in much the same way as C or Algol, unlike many other languages, it is not dependent on C in any way. One defining feature of Go is concurrency, which means that multiple processes can be executed at the same time, which makes Go an efficient language. It is also a verbose language which displays extended information. Its other features are memory management, structural typing, memory safety and CSP-style programming.
