About
What is Go?
Simply put, Go is a simple-to-use compiled language. It comes packaged with benefits such as static typing, garbage collection, great tooling, excellent concurrency primitives and a robust standard library. It compiles extremely fast, and cross-compiles to all major platforms using one command.
All of this gives you comparable speed to C/C++, with the development proficiency of popular interpreted languages.

What is Utah Golang?
Utah Golang is a community of people interested in developing software using the Go programming language. We’re here to promote growth of a lively and dynamic community of Go enthusiasts in Utah. We aim to disseminate knowledge about the language and promote its use.
Utah Golang promotes Free and Open Source Software, and publish our software and creative assets as open source. We encourage our community to do the same.
Activities
We have regular (generally monthly) meetups consisting of presentations by both members of our community, and whenever possible, industry leaders.
Attendance is free and open to everyone. Our sponsors often allow us to have snacks and drinks to foster a climate where discussions are welcomed and appreciated.
We will often present concepts in laymen terms and as such our meetings will cater to people of all skill set levels: newcomers as well as experts. Whenever possible, we will provide a list of any prerequisite knowledge so you can prepare beforehand if needed.
