GOLANG HISTORY
Conceived in September 2007 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson at Google
Was announced in November 2009
Was built for multicore and network era
Goals:
Efficient in compilation and execution
Reliable and robust programs
3
GOLANG PROPERTIES
+
Fast compilation, small execution time
Binary file
Easy to cross compile
Readability and usability
High performance in multiprocessing, networking
Automatic memory management (garbage collection)
No forward declarations and no header files
Built in concurrency support
Go runtime are compiled and combined with go application
4
GOLANG PROPERTIES
-
Large binary file
Missing generic type

HELLO, WORLD
6
MULTIPLE RETURN VALUES
Functions in Go can return multiple values
7
NAMED RESULT PARAMETERS
The results of a Go function can be given names and used as regular variables
8
DEFER
defer statement schedules a function call to the end of the main function
Guarantee that we will never forget to close a file (when we add another return)
The close sits near the open (clearer)
9
GO SLICES
Wrap arrays to give a better interface to work with
Slices hold references to an underlying array
Length and capacity
Array: len = cap
Go Slices: len <= cap
10
CONCURRENCY
Goroutine
Lightweigh than thread (goroutine 2KB vs thread 1~2MB)
Managed by go runtime
Has its own stack
Run concurrently
11
CONCURRENCY
Channel
Communicate between goroutines
Synchronize task between goroutines
Can be buffered
12
Test, mock
Package management
Dependencies Injection
Select, channel, goroutine
