Introduction to Go

Go (Golang) is a statically typed, compiled language designed for simplicity and scalability.

Developed at Google, it excels at concurrent server-side programs.

snippet

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Hello, InkAndHorizon!")
    
    // Multiple return values
    sum, count := addAll(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
    fmt.Printf("Sum: %d, Count: %d\n", sum, count)
}

func addAll(nums ...int) (int, int) {
    total := 0
    for _, n := range nums {
        total += n
    }
    return total, len(nums)
}
