| “At the time, no single team member knew Go, but |
| <strong>within a month,everyone was writing in Go</strong> 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!” |

| "<strong>A small language that compiles fast makes for a happy developer.</strong> |
| The Go language is small, compiles really fast, and as a result it lets your |
| mind focus on the actual problem and less on the tool you are using to solve |
| it. Code, test, debug cycles are so quick that you forget you are not |
| working with an interpreted language. Looking at our code, you see |
| <strong>less boilerplate and more business logic.</strong>" |

| “<strong>Go has excellent characteristics for scalability and services |
| written using it typically have very small memory footprints.</strong> |
| Because code is compiled into a single static binary, services can also be |
| containerised with ease, making it much simpler to build and deploy. These |
| attributes make <strong>Go an ideal choice for companies building |
| microservices</strong>, as you can easily deploy into a highly available and |
| scalable environment such as Kubernetes.” |
