5 Reasons Why Golang is The Best Programming Language to Learn in 2021 (including golang drawbacks)

5 reasons why Golang (go programming language) is the best programming language to learn in 2021 (including golang drawbacks)

Relative newcomer, “Go”, also referred to as “Go Language” or “Golang” (go lang) because of its domain name, is one of the fastest growing programming languages in the software industry. Its speed, simplicity, and reliability in complex architecture make it the perfect choice for all kinds of developers.

Developed in 2007 by tech giant, Google, Golang was first released to the public in 2012 as an alternative to C++ and Java for cross-platform app developers. It’s experienced a massive surge in popularity with programmers around the world. It’s a robust, easy-to-learn and fast language trusted by tech heavyweights Dropbox, Docker, Facebook, Netflix, Uber and Twitter.

For many new coders, Golang programming is their first exposure to a statically typed programming language; encouraged by the fact that the language fundamentals of Go can be learned in a single evening. Of course, that wouldn’t make you a pro just yet – you’ll need to understand the standard library, best coding practices and more specific, niche areas, but the basics can be learned pretty quick.
