| * 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. |
