Go

Go is Google's compiled language. Fast, garbage-collected, built for concurrent servers, with a famously simple syntax and a 90-second compile time even for huge codebases. The language behind Docker, Kubernetes, Caddy, and Hugo. Used at Google, Cloudflare, and Uber.

Environment Setup

Go is configured system-wide in /etc/profile:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

Optional (if you want Go-installed binaries accessible globally):

export GOPATH=/root/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

Apply immediately:

source /etc/profile

Workspace Layout

/root/go/bin → binaries installed via go install (not in PATH unless you add it)
/root/go/pkg → compiled package cache
/root/go/src → source code

Useful Commands

go version → check version
go env → inspect environment
go run → run a program
go build → compile
go install → install
