The Go Programing Language's Packages

Golang Packages

This posting is all about Programming - one of my current interests.

The Go language was invented and supported by Google. It's not a complicated language - it was designed that way - but it has a large ecosystem of supporting packages that it can use to do nearly anything.

This is how programming is done now - there is a language, but there are many helper functions that can let it do nearly anything. And more are added all the time.

Google wants to keep you in its walled garden - and away from Microsoft's. Java was the darling of the Nineties - and is still the most popular language going - but Google's Go, and Microsoft's C# and F# - are the way to go, if you want to get ahead of the pack.

F#, backed up with the .NET framework, is the Functional Programming language - that companies should be using (in my opinion). But it seems to be too good for them.
