Today, I will talk to you about why people who have finished learning PHP have to transfer to Go, which may not be understood by many people. in order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following content for you. I hope you can get something according to this article.

Many people call GO the C language of the 21st century, because GO not only has the simplicity and performance of C, but also provides a variety of practical features of server development in the 21st century Internet environment, so that developers can easily get what they want at the language level.

During the iteration of the go language version, the language features basically did not change much, basically remained on the GO1.1 benchmark, and officially promised that the new version was fully compatible with the code developed under the old version. In fact, the GO development team is very cautious about adding new language features, while constantly optimizing in terms of stability, compilation speed, execution efficiency, and GC performance.

The development camp of Go language

The development camp of GO language can be said to be unprecedentedly powerful, and there is no lack of historical figures in the field of computer software among the main members, which has a far-reaching impact on the development of computer software. KenThompson, from Bell Labs, designed the B language and created the Unix operating system (originally implemented in B language). Then in the process of Unix development, C language was designed together with DennisRitchie, and then the Unix operating system was reconstructed using C language. DennisRitchie and KenThompson are known as the fathers of Unix and C, and were jointly awarded the Turing Award in 1983 for their outstanding contributions to the development of computer software.

Does Go language promote the development of cloud?

The famous Docker is implemented entirely in GO. The most popular container orchestration management system in the industry, kubernetes, is implemented entirely in GO, and then DockerSwarm is implemented entirely in GO. In addition, there are a variety of well-known projects such as etcd/consul/flannel and so on, all of which are implemented in GO. Some people say that the GO language is famous for catching up with the cloud era, but why can't we put it another way? it is also the GO language that promotes the development of the cloud.

In addition to cloud projects, there are companies such as Jinri Toutiao and UBER, who have also thoroughly restructured their business using the go language.

The reason why GO language is powerful is that it can always grasp the pain point of programmers in server-side development and solve problems in the most direct, simple, efficient and stable way. Here we will not discuss the specific syntax of GO language in depth, but will only introduce the key aspects of the language that are of great significance to simplifying programming, and follow in the footsteps of the masters to experience the design philosophy of GO.

In today's multi-core era, the significance of concurrent programming is self-evident. Of course, many languages support multithreaded, multiprocess programming, but unfortunately, implementation and control is not so easy and enjoyable. Unlike Golang, the language level supports goroutine concurrency (also known as microthreading, which is lighter, less expensive, and higher performance than threads). It is very easy to operate, and the language level provides keywords (go) to start collaborators, and thousands of collaborators can be started on the same machine.

Compared with the multi-thread implementation of JAVA and the co-program implementation of GO, it is obviously more direct and simple. This is the charm of GO, solving problems in a simple and efficient way, and the keyword go is perhaps the most important symbol of the GO language.

After reading the above, do you have any further understanding of why people who have finished learning PHP have to transfer to Go? If you want to know more knowledge or related content, please follow the industry information channel, thank you for your support.
