Golang for IoT Projects
Golang is our Go-to language for developing IoT applications too. Golang an open source programming language is suitable for IoT applications because of the following reasons:
Concurrency
Golang is a highly concurrent language. It supports a huge number of simultaneous connections - which corresponds to requirements of huge number of connected devices in IoT networks.
Scalability
Due to Golangs superior scalability, it is able to scale up. It can then handle a growing number of connected devices to an IoT Network. Which is then better prepared to handle a sudden influx of connected devices.
Device Usability
It is very important that Internet of Things IoT based solutions have cross-platform functionality. Users are then able to view results on the go. Golang aces this criterion. Gobot framework supports many platforms such as Bluetooth LE devices and even the Neurosky neuro interface.
Feature-rich
It has several built-in features and officially supported packages that can be imported easily via the Go package manager. This makes it possible to develop feature-rich IoT project that are suitable for a variety of challenges. External packages can also be integrated easily into the current application to add more features. This type of community support in Golang helps write elegant lines of code. That too in less development time thus cutting down on the applications Go-to market time.
