The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more productive.
Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language.
Instructions for downloading and installing the Go compilers, tools, and libraries.
An interactive introduction to Go in three sections. The first section covers basic syntax and data structures; the second discusses methods and interfaces; and the third introduces Go's concurrency primitives. Each section concludes with a few exercises so you can practice what you've learned. You can install it locally with:
$ go get golang.org/x/tour
This will place the tour binary in your workspace's bin directory.

This doc explains how to develop a simple set of Go packages inside a module, and it shows how to use the go command to build and test packages.

A document that summarizes commonly used editor plugins and IDEs with Go support.
A document that gives tips for writing clear, idiomatic Go code. A must read for any new Go programmer. It augments the tour and the language specification, both of which should be read first.
Summarizes tools and methodologies to diagnose problems in Go programs.
