Choose Golang to do game server development

After six months of mobile game operation, maintenance, follow-up development, the next network game server-side development technology selection requirements are as follows: 1. System mature, there are large success stories 2. 3 Higher development efficiency. High performance, it is best to support parallel technology to make full use of multi-CPU resources 4. Code encryption Release 5. Development logic is simple, such as multi-threaded synchronization, locking, multi-process synchronization is more complex 6. Easy to learn and use, if it is new technology

Alternative technology comparison

I can choose the technical platform through some of my own analysis summarized as follows (one's own words):

golang

project	nodejs	python	c++/ruby	Erlang
system Mature	4	3	5	4	3
Development Efficiency	5	5	3	3	5
Performance	3	3	5	5	4
Encrypt publication	3	0	4	3	5
Logic Simple	5	5	3	4	5
Easy to learn	5	5	2	1	4
Cross-platform	5	5	5	5	5

In fact, smart readers, look at the above table, you already know that I am the most favorite Golang, yes! In fact, the above table is only a pretence, in fact, choose which kind can achieve the goal, at the same time I am optimistic about Erlang and Golang parallel development mode for game development, I began learning Erlang and Golang in 2011 years, once indulged, combined with their own conditions and team situation, I finally chose the Golang.

I like Python's Code style and development efficiency, but also used it for nearly two years of development, but its performance is relatively low. I was helpless to give up.

I am optimistic about the birth of Golang (three great Inventors), concise (the language of the Least keyword), pioneering (struct, interface, channel, goroutine), I focus on Golang two years, Until last year it released 1.0, and a growing number of project cases and developers, I think now can be used in production projects.

For Golanger.

I am honored that I have become one of you, I hope we can communicate more. My later Golang code does not involve part of the trade secret I will share with you and accept your help on github.com. I mainly use Golang to develop the application of TCP server class, such as game server.
