Description-en: Go programming language compiler, linker, compiled stdlib
The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more
productive. Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency
mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore
and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and
modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the
convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a
fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed,
interpreted language.
.
This package provides an assembler, compiler, linker, and compiled libraries
for the Go programming language.
.
To use this version, instead of the default one provided by golang-go package,
add /usr/lib/go-1.17/bin/ to PATH, or invoke /usr/lib/go-1.17/bin/go directly.
