Nowadays, there is a lot of buzz about Go. It happened so that for the
last 6 months I've been mostly programming Go, and frankly speaking I
fell in love with this language.

We'll first do a quick review of the language. Go doesn't have some
language constructs, for example classes and exceptions and at first
it may seem hard to write proper Go code, but in practice the language
is so easy that I will try to teach you the basics and most important
concepts of the language. We'll further discuss differences and
similarities in Go and Python and dive into the cool features of Go.

Finally we'll talk about why popularity of Go is raising so fast and
try to answer the most important question: Do I need to switch to Go ?
