Why did you choose Go for a messenger?

Answer from AI

Go (Golang) is often chosen for developing messengers due to its high performance and efficient handling of concurrency. In messengers, it is important to process many simultaneous connections and messages, and Go with its goroutines and channels is well-suited for such tasks.

Additionally, Go is compiled into native code, which ensures fast operation and low resource consumption, critical for the server part of a messenger. The language is also easy to learn and support, which accelerates development and simplifies project scaling.

Example of using goroutines for message processing:

func handleConnection(conn net.Conn) {
    go func() {
        // process messages from the client
    }()
}
