Software testing generally raises an association with tests that determine the correctness of an implementation by asserting against an expected behavior or result. Regardless of their importance, tests on unit- and integration level cannot answer all questions regarding the production readiness of an implementation. Performance, resource efficiency and security become even more important in connection with cloud solutions, where more efficient code has a much higher likelihood of scaling better and saving costs.

When I completed my compiler design studies, I felt it was not appropriate for me to give my exercise projects any fancy names and put them on Github. With this in mind, I was used to question any new language which came out of nowhere and wait for a number of readings on my technology radar before considering to deal with it. With a number of significant readings from Google Go, I decided to give it a pleasant test drive.
