This is an important Golang interview question. Go is an attempt to create a new, concurrent, garbage-collected language with quick compilation and the following advantages :
* On a single machine, a big Go application can be compiled in a matter of seconds.
* Go provides an architecture for software development that simplifies dependency analysis while avoiding much of the complexity associated with C-style programs, such as files and libraries.
* Because there is no hierarchy in Go's type system, no work is wasted describing the relationships between types. Furthermore, while Go uses static types, the language strives to make types feel lighter weight than in traditional OO languages.
* Go is fully garbage-collected and supports parallel execution and communication at a fundamental level.
* Go's design presents a method for developing system software on multicore processors.
