Why Go?
Why Go exists: single-binary deploys, goroutines scheduled onto a few threads, and channels.
Transcript
Go was built at Google for fast servers that handle many things at once.
It compiles to a single binary, so deploying means copying one file.
A goroutine is a function running on its own, and it costs only a few kilobytes.
The runtime schedules thousands of goroutines onto a few operating system threads.
Goroutines talk to each other through channels.
The Go proverb: do not communicate by sharing memory; share memory by communicating.
Simple. Fast. Concurrent.
