Summary : A compiled, garbage-collected, concurrent programming language

Description : 

 Go is an expressive, concurrent, garbage collected systems programming language

 that is type safe and memory safe. It has pointers but no pointer arithmetic.

 Go has fast builds, clean syntax, garbage collection, methods for any type, and

 run-time reflection. It feels like a dynamic language but has the speed and

 safety of a static language.
