Go Language Development Environment Setup (Ubuntu 16.0.4)

The Go programming language is an open source project that makes programmers more productive. The Go language is highly expressive, concise, clear and efficient. Thanks to its concurrency mechanism, programs written in it can make very efficient use of multicore and networked computers, and its novel type system makes the program structure flexible and modular. The Go code compiles into machine code not only very quickly, but also has a handy garbage collection mechanism and a powerful runtime reflection mechanism. It is a fast, static type of compiled language that feels like a dynamic type of interpreted language.
