Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled.
It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.
Before deep diving into ancient history and tech-related details, the name clarification should occur: Go or Golang?
The thing is, both are correct. The language is officially called Go. The "Golang" nickname arose because the website is golang.org, not go.org, which was unavailable at the time. Initial confusion turned out to be a good thing, as the "Golang" moniker is more unique and thus more searchable on the internet than the common "Go". Even on social media, the hashtag #golang is dominant regardless of the official Go name of the language.
Go (Golang) is an open-source, backend programming language used for:
Server management
Web development
Cloud infrastructure setting
And command-line interfaces
Go was born out of frustration that was growing among Googlers struggling with other backend languages. They shared a common, burning dislike for C++ in particular. Developers considered it sluggish, demanding, over-complicated, and - this is the worst sin - unstable and slowing down the development process. Long story short, C++, excellent at "old simpler times," uncovered its flaws in the era of multicore, networked machines, huge codebases, and AI-driven and cloud-native solutions.
The search for a better alternative began in 2007, kickstarted by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson. They were employed at Google back then, and the corporation suffered from many inconveniences from using complicated and confusing programming languages, mainly C-related. The trio decided that it would be a good direction not to focus on overcoming challenges C implied but on developing a better alternative for C. They focused on cherry-picking the best-of-breed features of other languages (besides C++, also Python, and Ruby), combining them smoothly, and wrapping them up in convenient, modern form.
