GoLang

Go, commonly known as Golang, is an open-source programming language developed by Google. Designed for simplicity, reliability, and efficiency, it excels in building robust, high-performance, and concurrent software.

With a syntax similar to C, Go introduces modern features like garbage collection, memory safety, and native concurrency support through goroutines and channels. It compiles to a single, statically linked binary, eliminating external dependencies and simplifying deployment.

Where is it used in the stack?

Go is exclusively used in the RawStack API.

Why are we using it?

Go was selected for the RawStack API due to its exceptional performance, simplicity, and scalability. While the rest of the stack is built with TypeScript, the API demands high efficiency and the ability to perform at scale, making Go the ideal choice.
