Golang is your friend
summary
Golang (Go) is presented as a systems-language offering C-like performance with much less code, citing benchmarks that outperform PHP (up to 3×) and sometimes Python (up to 100×). The talk covers Go’s static typing and compilation to single binaries, concurrency primitives (goroutines, channels, select), tooling (go fmt, play.golang.org), and practical uses for backend RPCs, deployment tooling, and cross-platform binaries, with industry examples like YouTube sharding, Vimeo, SoundCloud, and Docker.
