IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Go makes available the popular and industry-standard Go (or Golang) programming language to z/OS users. Go is a general-purpose programming language for building large-scale complex software, and is the language of cloud infrastructure such as Kubernetes, Open Container Initiative, and OpenShift. Go contains a powerful standard library of packages and built-in functions to support application development. It is also an open-source project with active open community participation which supports the rapid transformation in new technologies that businesses need.
Why Go for z/OS? As clients embark on their cloud native journey on z/OS, Go is essential for enabling new cloud workloads and connecting z/OS to their private cloud, accelerating their digital transformation and journey to hybrid cloud. As global economic conditions continue to accelerate the need for businesses to focus on digital transformation, the demand for fast, secure, and modern cloud native applications on the platform continues to increase. Combining the performance and agility of Go with the security of IBM Z, IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Go allows clients to colocate Go applications with critical assets on z/OS for greater data proximity, reduce response time and increase throughput for greater efficiency, run popular Go applications on IBM Z hardware for greater security, and take advantage of great features supported by a large open source community for greater agility. Due to Go's easy to learn syntax, IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Go also gives z/OS clients access to a wide variety of new talent for application development and modernization.
