In this talk we focus on the many ways Go can play a central role in enterprise modernization. Go is an easy to learn, efficient to use modern programming language. On z/OS Go can be used to access data (Db2, datasets, VSAM), call other languages (C, COBOL, Assembly), and access z/OS system services. Furthermore, with Go you have access to upwards of 1,000,000 Go modules from the open source community covering a wealth of functions and API’s ready and available for use in Go on z/OS. It can also be the anchor for a containerized dev-ops strategy, participating in highly efficient multistage builds using the IBM z/OS Container Platform. We will cover these use cases plus the latest in Go capabilities.
