Download Go 1.11.2 / 1.10.5

Go, also referred to as golang, is a programming language developed by Google and the open source community since 2007. Among other things, the language is cloudflare† google† Netflix and Uber used. Go code can be compiled for Android, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and Windows on i386, amd64, and ARM processor architectures. The syntax of Go is similar to that of C and similar programming languages, although there are also some notable differences. Go also offers the option of distributed programming, where several processes are executed simultaneously. The team has released Go versions 1.11.2 and 1.10.5 with the following changes:
