Google – Go

Google has introduced its very own programming language known as ‘Go.’ The goal with Go is to combine faster application development with simpler coding. One could label it a combination of C++ and Python, as it serves as a systems language but is much faster for development like Python. Being a strong believer and supporter of open source, Google has released Go as an open source coding language so that developers may contribute and improve it in this vital introductory stage.
Developers claim that the language makes them more productive than while using any other language out there today. Because the code is compiled almost instantly, but runs at the same speed as C, Go outdoes the other languages currently in use. Although it has not yet been used in any publically available Google applications, Google programmers state that it is created to meet their application’s needs of reaching a large user base running parallel Wordpress customization.
Go was not even developed as a planned Google project, but rather was conceived by Google developers on their own time, which the company allows them to work on projects outside their normal responsibilities. Reports indicate that Go will be used in the new Google operating system, Chrome. Go is the 2nd of Google’s programming languages, the first being SIMPLE, which was a BASIC coding language designed for programming Android applications.
