Get GOing with a New Language
summary
A PHP team rewrites a 2,000-line legacy PHP4 app into Go (golang) and ends up with a single compiled binary that runs much faster, is easier to maintain, and has less downtime. The language ships with batteries-included tooling like go build / go run / go fmt, moves from GOPATH to modules for dependency management, and promotes concurrency via goroutines and channels so you get lightweight threads, message-passing patterns, built-in race detection and easy worker-pool scaling rather than ad hoc frameworks.
