Go originated in 2007 and was officially released in 2009. It began on September 21, 2009 as part of Google’s 20% part-time program, in which employees spend 20% of their free time working on Go.
In fact, as you can see, Go has a fairly recent history.
The first version of GO was released in November 2009. The first official release, Go1.0, was released in March 2012.
In August 2015
Go1.5 is released, and this release is considered historic. Completely remove the C language part, use GO to compile GO, a small amount of code using assembly implementation. In addition, they brought in Rick, a leading expert on memory management
Hudson, has redesigned the GC to support concurrent GC, addressing the long-standing problem of GC latency (STW). In later versions, GC was further optimized. By GO1.8, GC latency in the same service scenario can be reduced from a few seconds in GO1.1 to less than 1ms. With the resolution of the GC problem, it can be said that the GO language eliminates almost all of the weaknesses in server-side development.
As of February 25 of this year, the latest version of the Go language was Go 1.12.
During the iteration of the GO language, the features of the language have not changed much, basically maintaining the benchmark of GO1.1, and the official promise is that the new version is fully compatible with the code developed under the old version. In fact, the GO development team has been cautious about adding new language features and has continued to optimize in terms of stability, compile speed, execution efficiency, and GC performance.
When the Go Stable release was released, the Go Team promised that subsequent releases would be compatible with previous releases. This is very important for developers, and subsequent versions of Go have been improving their internal capabilities so that users can seamlessly upgrade to the Go version.
