<p>Question in the title.</p>
<p>Who Golang is targeting ? Ex-Python users ? C / C++ users ? Web developers (like Ruby and Ruby on Rails) ? ...</p>
<hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>Mittalmailbox: <pre><p>It is general purpose language(just like python,c ,c++) you can do almost anything. But most people use it to make network apps(high performance APIs, )
It provides the speed of static typed language and expressiveness of dynamic.</p>
<p>It is one of the few languages where you won't need third party frameworks/libraries most of the time. It has robust standard library.</p></pre>Raihli: <pre><p>I only know Python and C, and never do Web services. Maybe Go could be a good thing for me to learn.</p>
<p>No need third party framework seems interesting.
There are other things that make Go unique and valuable ? </p></pre>RevMen: <pre><p>It has built-in tools for concurrency that are sensible and easy to use. </p>
<p>Some say it occupies a spot between C and Python. You might agree. </p>
<p>If you already know Python and C, Go should be pretty easy to learn. Give it a try!</p></pre>Raihli: <pre><p>I'm going to do that :) Thanks</p>
<p>EDIT : Oh last question, is it a high level langage or a low level ?</p></pre>Mittalmailbox: <pre><p>I think all languages these days are high level. Go is more higher level than C/C++ due to garbage collection. </p></pre>pieps: <pre><p>Or whom...</p></pre>sbinet: <pre><p>and s/Golang/Go/g :)</p></pre>jakob_roman: <pre><p>I use it to build restful web services and web servers.</p></pre>FUZxxl: <pre><p>Go is a general purpose language. It was designed for building web services but it is quite useful for other purposes, too.</p></pre>mixedCase_: <pre><p>Those who want to get things done and have a task at hand where its toolset is handy.</p></pre>: <pre><p>[removed]</p></pre>thokk: <pre><p>Who'd have thought...someone not familiar with Go asking about Golang on <a href="/r/golang" rel="nofollow">/r/golang</a>. </p></pre>FantomLancer: <pre><p>There is tons of documentation on this topic on the net.
