Go language: Making the era of cloud computing
Reference from the domestic go language development and application, seven cattle is the first to choose the go language to do the service end of the company.

Xu Xiwei talked about:
The reshaping of programming philosophy is the root cause of the unique go language, and other languages still struggle to get rid of the stigma of OOP or functional programming, and only go completely abandons these, rethinking the programming paradigm and providing extremely simple but complete support for popular object-oriented programming. Go is the internet era of C language, not only will make the cloud computing, in 10 years will be the entire IT field.
Not long ago, Facebook also open up a lot of the Go language library and go to GitHub's hosting address to see it.

10 Popular Go language open source projects

As the 5 anniversary of the advent of the go language, foreign media Javaworld also published articles, sorting out 10 popular open source projects developed by the go language.
