Go, also known as Golang, is a open-source programming language developed at Google in 2007 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson. Originally intended as a descendent of C++ for the 21st century, Golang is characterized by fast compilation, easier syntax, and an efficient garbage collection. It’s a clean, fast, typed language that is particularly strong for web development.

See the list of Go-related communities we’re hosting on Gitter below & feel free to join the conversation!

• docker/docker — Docker is an open source project to pack, ship and run any application as a lightweight container. Docker containers are both hardware-agnostic and platform-agnostic. Docker began as an open-source implementation of the deployment engine which powered dotCloud, a popular Platform-as-a-Service. It benefits directly from the experience accumulated over several years of large-scale operation and support of hundreds of thousands of applications and databases.

• drone/drone — Drone is a Continuous Delivery platform built on Docker, written in Go. Every build is executed inside an ephemeral Docker container, giving developers complete control over their build environment with guaranteed isolation.

• gogits/gogs — The goal of this project is to make the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service.

• google/gxui — An experimental Go cross platform UI library.
