Is the Go language promising?

At present, it is still very promising, because it is becoming more and more popular, but his application field is still limited to high concurrency processing and ** development, after all, it is a rising star, so it is not so easy to popularize and surpass C++ in other desktop program fields, and it is not recommended to learn to go when looking for a job

The GO language is optimized for programming applications in multiprocessor systems, and programs compiled with GO can be as fast as C or C++**, and are more secure and support parallel processes. Not only can you develop the web, but you can also develop the bottom layer, and Zhihu is developed by Golang. The preferred language of blockchain is Go, Ethereum, and Hyperledger are all based on Go.

GO's goal is to improve the management of existing programming languages' dependencies on libraries, etc., software elements that are repeatedly called by applications. Due to the existence of parallel programming patterns, this language is also designed to solve multiprocessor tasks.

Google has high hopes for GO, which is designed to take full advantage of the benefits of multi-core processor synchronization and multiplexing, and to solve the troubles of object-oriented programming, with modern programming language features such as junk ** to help programmers deal with trivial but important memory management problems. Go is very fast, almost as fast as a C or C++ program, and can be programmed quickly.

At present, the Go language is mainly used for server-side development, and its positioning is used to develop large-scale software, which is suitable for many programmers to develop large-scale software together, and has a long development cycle, and supports cloud computing network services. Go allows programmers to develop quickly, and it makes it easier for programmers to maintain and modify software as it grows. It combines the efficiency of traditional compiled languages with the ease of use and expressiveness of scripting languages.

As a server programming language, GO is very suitable for processing logs, data packaging, virtual machine processing, file systems, distributed systems, databases, etc.; In terms of network programming, GO language is widely used in web applications, API applications, ** applications, etc., in addition, GO language can also be used in the field of memory database and cloud platform.

Since 2006, Tencent has been promoting the agile evolution of its R&D model, and has now formed an enterprise-level agile R&D system, including multiple R&D tools such as Agile R&D collaboration platform TAPD, first-class management platform Worker Bee, and intelligent continuous integration platform Tencent CI (Blue Shield). According to the report, Tencent currently completes an average of 7,453 requests per day, with an average of 120,000 submissions per day. 35% of requests are responded to within a day, and 54% are developed within three days.

Compared with 2020, Tencent's average time to resolve a single bug has been reduced by 42%, with 65% of bugs being resolved within one day and 80% of bugs being resolved within three days.

In the process of R&D practice, quality is also the focus of R&D personnel. The review system can find problems or defects in the review system and improve the readability. In 2021, the number of reviews totaled 2.15 million, a year-on-year increase of 55%; The participation rate of the review is 75%, the average person participates in the review 106 times, and the number of reviews per 1,000 lines has reached one.

In addition, the COCODE software crowdsourcing review analysis tool evaluates the project review effect and the quality of the project review through the defect removal rate evaluation. Try it for free now.

In terms of continuous delivery of R&D, Tencent has built an average of 2.6 million times per week, achieved an average of 2.6 million build products per project, saved 10,000 hours of compilation time by compilation acceleration, and promoted the repair of more than 4 million bugs and security vulnerabilities. At the same time, with the rapid development of Tencent's cloud computing and big data-related businesses, the Go language has grown rapidly, surpassing C++ for the first time and becoming Tencent's most popular programming language in 2021.
