How did you get into Go development professionally?
I've been in Java land for ~10 years doing mostly backend work, but I've been seeing increasingly more backend jobs using Go so I'm wondering if this is a direction I should start heading in.
I don't have enough experience but I think, apart from its concurrency primitives, some of the reasons to consider Go are: it is quite simple to grasp, fast, has a low memory footprint and any app can be deployed as a single file. Its standard library is quite extensive also.
