Ready, Set, Golang
summary
Quick overview of Go versus Java with concrete examples: hello world, variable and type syntax, structs and interfaces, and package visibility. Builds a REST endpoint that signs requests with an MD5 hash to the Marvel API, marshals JSON into structs, and serves results as JSON. Demonstrates concurrency with go routines and buffered channels, firing up to 40 concurrent requests; compiles to a ~7MB native binary and starts in seconds, and the demo endpoints return results as expected.
