1 - Performance

Extremely efficient and fast, tools that require high efficiency and performance prefer Go for their backend. By compiling into native machine code, it can achieve extraordinary performance without requiring specific configurations within the code for each scenario.
When talking about Go, we must always mention concurrency, which involves tasks being executed simultaneously. Most languages on the market require adaptations to work in this model or something close to it. Go, on the other hand, brings this by default and in a simplified way.

Some features:

• Memory management: it already has a garbage collector by default and mechanisms to avoid leaks.
• Benchmarking tools.
• Easily vertically scalable.
• Facilitated use for ARM architecture.

2 - Learning Curve

Go has a simple and concise language that can initially seem strange but is quickly overcome by more experienced developers. Even the way it works is quite similar to other languages, making it easy to navigate between files.
As a first language to learn, its approach is quite simple, even for learning OOP, even though it has its own way of doing things, making learning possible without much suffering.

3 - Market Adoption

Despite being a new language, it already has several libraries and frameworks that can facilitate development.
Some companies that already use Go: Google, Uber, Netflix, Dropbox, IBM, Spotify, Microsoft, and many others. This list just keeps growing.
Clouds:

• GCP (Google Cloud Platform): Go was born within Google, so it was very well tested and refined in its projects. We can say that GCP is Go's first home.
• AWS (Amazon Web Service): already provides the latest versions in its Lambdas, machines configured to be executed if certain events occur.
• Azure: I've never had much contact, but Microsoft has a very cool initiative involving Azure and Go, it's worth checking out later. Considering this, I believe Azure is also more than prepared to handle Go.

4 - Maintenance

Its main concept is to be simple, simplicity favors the maintenance of code over the long term, also reducing the delivery time of implementations.
It has code debugging easily configurable in IDEs if it doesn't come by default, very well established and tested by the market.
It brings native support for automated testing and reports, ensuring that new versions of the application are still behaving as expected.
Its package management is quite simple, having only one main manager model.
Other important maintenance points:

• The community is constantly growing and is very collaborative.
• It has a very well-written and organized official documentation.
• It has been working on technologies like WebSocket, Http/Https, gRPC, HTML 2 for years.
