Summary

This chapter provided a comprehensive guide to why Go is a top choice for system programming and insights into Go’s design philosophy, emphasizing simplicity, robustness, and efficiency. We learned about Go’s concurrency model, its approach to interacting with the OS, and how to interact with the tools for cross-platform development. These lessons are helpful as they equip us with the knowledge needed to write, read, and maintain system-level code with Go, enabling improved performance and the ability to work with concurrency.

In the next chapter, we explore the concurrency concepts, refreshing all related concepts and building blocks. It will prepare us for more advanced interactions with OS interfaces, enhancing our ability to create powerful and responsive programs.
