Go monitoring background

Go is one of the hottest new programming languages out there today. Sometimes referred to as “golang,” Go is an open source programming language created in 2007 by three Google engineers: Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson.

Go was originally positioned as a modern systems language, but, according to New Relic Product Manager Neha Duggal, “Go is growing in popularity as a language for writing microservices thanks to its elegant concurrency model, simple binary deployments, low number of external dependencies, fast performance, and runtime efficiency.”

golang gopherA creative and passionate community of Go developers and users (“Gophers”) has grown up around the language, and today there are U.S. Go conferences, European Go conferences, Go organizations, Go schools, Go newsletters, Go blogsGo podcasts, an online Gopher avatar generator (using the original artwork designed by cartoonist Renée French) … even a group for LGBT Gophers (yes, “Gayphers”).

There are also a number of highly knowledgeable and interesting Go experts that any Gopher (or would-be Gopher) should be following online. We’ve gathered 18 of our favorites into the alphabetical list below. If you want to learn more about this very special programming language, and stay on top of the latest news and developments in the world of Go, let these smart people be your guides:
