Why was GoLang created in Google?

it is for solving real problem, for Google and others, of C++ immense complexity and size

a new language that is as compact and simple as it can be! that is good!

Kenneth Lane Thompson, winner of the Association for Computing Machinery's A.M. Turing Award, discusses development of the Go programming language at Google in the early 2000s, its relationship the company’s cloud computing platform, and its eventual success as an open source project thanks to its robust standard libraries. This clip is taken from an interview conducted with Thompson by David Brock for the ACM and Computer History Museum on March 6, 2024 which is distributed here by permission of the Computer History Museum.

Go (programming language) - Wikipedia

Go is a high-level, general-purpose programming language that is statically-typed and compiled. It is known for the simplicity of its syntax and the efficiency of development that it enables through the inclusion of a large standard library supplying many needs for common projects.^[13] It was designed at Google^[14] in 2007 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson, and publicly announced in November 2009.^[4] It is syntactically similar to C, but also has garbage collection, structural typing,^[8] and CSP-style concurrency.^[15] It is often referred to as Golang to avoid ambiguity and because of its former domain name, golang.org, but its proper name is Go.
