Documenting my Golang journey

• compiled to single to a single binary file, it could be 200x faster than most interpreted Languages.
• No runtime to worry about
• statically typed, so no surprises at run time.
• Object oriented (sort of) [interfaces]
• Concurrency model that facilites a fast and rapid development
• Cross platform
• Excellent package management & testing built in
• East to learn (xD)
