Main uses of Go in Web Development?

Question

What is the main use of Go in Web Development?

Answer 1

So far I have seen two uses:

Generation of static sites: Go is quite fast for the task, and that's why Hugo (Generator of static sites in Go) has had a lot of popularity unlike other generators with Jekyll, Pelican, etc.

Server side: Go has had some acceptance in the world of web development in this field. Even some developers involved in Node.js have migrated to Go and exposed some of its qualities (such as scalability and fast it can be).

In any case, both uses have certain areas in specific and it is not generalized.

Answer 2

Bill Zelenko Have you personally worked with both this Go library and ImageMagick to get an idea of how the two compare? Also, do you know if this Go library uses GhostScript or show other library for EPS conversations?

I definitely need to check this out.

Answer 3

Awesome references. Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction.

Go is used on server side. It is compiled language. The binary file that you export is super fast. It is used in many different industries. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5UG57xQL_RE
