Go

Also called: Golang

The short version

Go is a programming language often used to build server software, command-line tools, and cloud services.

Software that handles many tasks

A team might use Go for a service that answers requests from many users or for a tool that runs on a server. Go has built-in ways to work on several tasks at once, which can help with services that handle many connections.

Go code is usually compiled into a program that can run on a target system. The language is also called Golang in searches and conversation, although its name is Go.
