Popular sites using GO!
During my last semester at NBCC, I had a research project of a topic of the choice of my partner & I. We both agreed on GO, also known as GOLANG, a statically typed, compiled programming language made by Google. GOLANG was designed for simplicity, efficiency, and concurrency, making it ideal for building scalable and high-performance software systems. Go's syntax is clean and easy to read, with features like garbage collection, strong typing, and built-in support for concurrent programming through goroutines and channels. It has gained popularity in recent years for web development, cloud services, networking, and systems programming due to its speed, efficiency, and robust standard library.

I'm sure this was obvious enough! Many of Google's internal systems and services are built using GO.
YouTube
Some parts of YouTube's backend are written in Go, especially for tasks like processing video metadata and handling large-scale data operations.
Dropbox
Dropbox uses Go extensively in its backend services for tasks like infrastructure management, monitoring, and performance optimization.
Uber
Uber uses Go for a variety of tasks, including backend services for their ride-hailing platform, data processing, and building microservices.
Docker
Docker, the popular containerization platform, is written in Go. Many of Docker's core components, including the Docker Engine, are implemented in Go.
