13. Hardware Limitations First Pentium 4 processor with 3.0GHz clock speed was introduced back in 2004 by Intel. Today, the Mackbook Pro 2016 has clock speed of 2.9GHz. So, nearly in one decade, there is not too much gain in the raw processing power.
14. “GO has goroutines!!!” - Reffrance: http://golangtutorials.blogspot.in/2011/06/goroutines.html
15. Go runs directly on underlying hardware Go brings best of both worlds! - Performance nearer to lower level languages like C/C++; - No need to allocation and removal object manually because of Garbage Collector; Execution steps for VM based languages Execution steps for NO VM based languages
16. Code written in Go is easy to maintain No classes - Everything is divided into packages only. Go has only structs instead of classes. Does not support inheritance - That will make code easy to modify. Code readability vs, Efficiency.
17. Go is backed by Google. - Google has one of the largest cloud infrastructures in the world and it is scaled massively. Go is designed by Google to solve their problems of supporting scalability and effectiveness. - Also used by some big companies like Adobe, BBC, IBM, Intel, etc.
