Characteristics of Go
Understand the fundamental characteristics of Go, including its procedural nature, strong and static typing, interface-based polymorphism, and minimalist syntax. Learn why Go excludes traditional object-oriented features and how its design supports concurrency and efficient coding practices, preparing you to code effectively in this language.
Features of Go
Go is essentially an imperative (procedural, structural) language, built with concurrency in mind. It is not truly object-oriented like Java and C++ because it doesn’t have the concepts of classes and inheritance. However, it does have a concepts of interfaces, with which much of the polymorphism can be implemented. Go has a clear and expressive type-system, but it is lightweight and without hierarchy. So in this respect, it could be called a hybrid language.
