Presentation: Go - A Key Language in Enterprise Application Development?

Go’s popularity in the last few years is hard to miss. It has jumped up in the Tiobe index and is holding steady.  The language has had a significant impact on the startup scene due to its simplicity, speed and enabling productivity in engineering teams. Large companies are starting to take notice. We also see a huge amount of community involvement in Go. If you have lived through the growth of Java in the late 90’s, this feels a bit like `déjà vu.’  In this talk, I will go over the Go language design and talk about why Go matters in the age of multicores and cloud-native computing.
