Why Golang?
Go is an open-source programming language developed by Google, aimed at delivering robust performance for business software architectures. Golang is popular among new-age businesses, interested in deploying time-efficient high performing apps. According to Github, Go is the fastest-growing programming language of 2019.
At LiteBreeze, we’ve been developing interactive web/mobile apps for our international clients using Golang and the Beego framework, since 2016. We weigh on its cross-platform support, built-in concurrency that enables multitasking, and its light-weighted-ness.
Go’s simple static type system, dynamic interfaces, and the standard library makes it an excellent language for system/web development. The Go community has very strong conventions regarding documentation, formatting, benchmarking, and API design.
Go compiles and runs faster than other languages. It relieves the burden of freeing allocated memory by effective garbage collection which in turn saves development time and cost.
When the parameters are performance, scalability, and readability Go easily outperforms almost every other language in its spectrum.
At our new office space in SmartCity, we are strengthening our recruiting efforts to find the top 1% of Golang talent in Kerala. Are you looking for outsourcing experts to help you build your Golang-based high-performance web/mobile app? Contact LiteBreeze today.

More information on Golang
These are some of the features that keep Go a cut above other modern programming languages:
- Statically typed – Variable types need to be declared before its use. This rules out most of the errors at compilation time. It also enhances code readability and perception.
- Compiled – Go has a very fast compiler, providing the feeling of an interpreted language.
- Concurrency – Go is famous for its concurrency, programs made up of multiple subprograms. An example is a web server, which handles each request separately as a subprogram.
- Testing – Go has an exemplary package for Testing which consists of a simple API, providing support for automated testing.
- Execution & Portability – Go can be directly compiled to machine code. It could swiftly build binaries for different OS and architecture.
- Garbage collection & Error handling – Go has a built-in garbage collector, which frees memory once its usage is over. Developers are forced to address failure using error handlers and ascertain all viable scenarios.
- Built-in libraries – Go has a feature-rich library to aid development. The net/HTTP contains HTTP client and server implementations, database/SQL for SQL database communication etc.
- Multi-core support – Major languages in use today were designed in the ’90s based on the single-core CPU. Go was developed to utilize multiple cores. Go can be used in programming systems and services that have huge demand & resource requirements.
