| <p class="Series-listItemSecondary">At GRAIL, we use the Go programming language for most of our bioinformatics, data processing, and machine learning tasks. Go’s simplicity makes it easy for newcomers to learn; its transparent runtime semantics makes it easy to reason about performance; and its ability to control data layout and allocation makes it possible to write highly performant data processing code.</p> |

| <p class="Series-listItemSecondary">At the time, no single team member knew Go, but within a month, everyone was writing in Go and we were building out the endpoints. It was the flexibility, how easy it was to use, and the really cool concept behind Go (how Go handles native concurrency, garbage collection, and of course safety+speed.) that helped engage us during the build. Also, who can beat that cute mascot!</p> |
