Go

Go is a high-level, general-purpose programming language that is statically typed and compiled. It is known for the simplicity of its syntax and the efficiency of development that it enables through the inclusion of a large standard library supplying many needs for common projects. It was designed at Google in 2007 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson, and publicly announced in November 2009.

It is syntactically similar to C, but also has garbage collection, structural typing, and CSP-style concurrency.
It is often referred to as Golang to avoid ambiguity and because of its former domain name, golang.
org, however, its proper name is Go.
