Go and the Google Cloud Platform
12 Jun 2013
Andrew Gerrand
* Introduction
In 2011 we announced the [[https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/go/overview][Go runtime for App Engine]].
Since then, we have continued to improve the Go App Engine experience,
and generally improved Go support for the Google Cloud Platform.
For instance, the [[http://code.google.com/p/google-api-go-client][google-api-go-client]] provides
a Go interface to a range of Google's public APis,
including Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, BigQuery,
Drive, and many more.
