Go bears a surface similarity to C and, like C, is a tool for professional programmers, achieving maximum effect with minimum means. But it is much more than an updated version of C.
Go borrows and adapts good ideas from many other languages, while avoiding features that have led to complexity and unreliable code.
Co-author Brian Kernighan was a co-creator of several programming languages and the co-author of one of the most popular programming books of all-time The C Programming Language.
Go is especially well suited for building infrastructure like networked servers, and tools and systems for programmers, but it is truly a general-purpose language and finds use in domains as diverse as graphics, mobile applications, and machine learning.
The book features hundreds of interesting and practical examples of well-written Go code that cover the whole language, its most important packages, and a wide range of applications
Go programs typically run faster than programs written in dynamic languages and suffer far fewer crashes due to unexpected type errors.
This book is meant to help you start using Go effectively right away and to use it well, taking full advantage of Go’s language features and standard libraries to write clear, idiomatic, and efficient programs.
