Why Go?

Is Golang object-oriented language?
Answer - No, but we can achieve object-oriented features using Golang

Is Golang procedure-oriented only?
Answer- No

 Golang is a general-purpose, open-source language. Golang began as Google's internal project which was officially announced in 2009. It is developed by Robert Griesemer, Ken Thomson, and Rob Pike.
This language is firstly designed for professional programmers for efficiency. Go comes with its syntax, standard function, and also a pretty rich standard library.

As a programmer, we wanted language which would be simple to understand, fast to learn and use, and maintainable. Go has all those support for the concurrency platform, built-in testing tool, profiling framework, and easy and clear documentation.

Key features of Golang:

1. Faster Execution:

Golang has compiled language. IT doesn't require any interpreter this leads to faster development and compilation directly to machine code. So it makes back-end development faster.

2. Scalable:

When it comes to scalability, Golang offers greater scope for scalability. Multiple functionalities can run at the same time, also easy to extend existing developed applications. Not only is the language itself inherently performant, but it also strengthens collaboration, readability, and maintenance. 

3. Effective garbage collection:

Garbage collectors play an important role in memory management. It has the responsibility of tracking heap memory allocation and freeing up unused memory and keeping allocations that are still in use. Go programming language uses a non-generational concurrent tri-color mark and sweep collector. The Go scheduler is responsible for the scheduling of the application and garbage collector. Developers need not worry about allocation and deallocation of memory.

4. Concurrency:

The key feature provided by Golang is its concurrency. Because of the concurrency approach of Golang, developers can achieve efficiency, faster execution, scalability, and manageable performance of applications. Go has introduced a lightweight entity to give an efficient performance of concurrency which is Goroutines. Which needs very less memory to initialize and can grow and shrinks depending on requirements. Also through the channels, multiple goroutines can communicate with each other. easily.

5. Dependency Management:

One important job of the programmer is handling the dependency of the application. Go has a built-in package management system. This eliminates the requirement of a third-party package and dependency management system. Go 1.11 and Go 1.12 has given support for Go Modules which manages the dependent packages in the application.

6. Active developer community:

Golang is an open-source language. Currently, over 1 million developers are active in working with Golang. Having a strong and active developer community ensures that there will always be support available for any issues faced during the development process.
following are the reference links where you can learn and contribute

So these are key features of Golang, along with these key features multiple fundamentals are there which makes development very easy. A few of them are below.

1. Basic components:  Following are the basic components of Go
       Interfaces
       Functions
       Methods

2. More Types:
     Struct
     Slices
     Maps

 Go language promises code efficiency, which translates into faster software and apps for businesses. Companies that recognize the need for lean and efficient code have adopted Golang as the programming language of choice.
