The Go Programming Language

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.

I had an interview with the hiring manager and these were the questions he asked. His accent was quite heavy so he also typed them for me in the VC chat window. I just copied/pasted from there.

What are Go routines, and how do they differ from threads?

How does Go's garbage collector work, and how can it affect application performance?

In Go, what is the 'defer' statements, and can you give an example of when it's particularly useful?

What is the biggest technical challenge you met when use golang for software development?

How do you manage dependencies in a Go project?

Do you have any working exp for using helm chart to deploy software on k8s env?

Explain how you monitor and troubleshoot applications running in Kubernetes?

What tools or practices have you found most effective?

How have you used Kubernetes to improve the scalability and reliability of an software?

I am not a go programmer but what are your thoughts on defer?
As an outsider it seems like a less readable context manager in Python.
