Go Ethereum Smart Contract

A contract in Go is specified by listing the types that comply with it . For example, if we wanted to define a Min operation, we could make it generic to all types that provide a < operator, defined in the standard library.

Solidity, the language we use to build a smart contract. Golang, the language we use to build the backend that communicates with the blockchain .

Go-ethereum, also known as geth for short, is the most popular Ethereum client and because it’s in Go, it provides everything we’ll ever need for reading and writing to the blockchain when developing applications using Golang.

Everyone in the blockchain world is using it Most of the stable blockchain based DApps and tools are built using Golang these days . It is very easy to find required libraries and packages. Go is a compiled language — hence it runs directly with the OS.
