Go is the best language for agents

4 hours ago

The author has 8 years of professional experience with Go and argues it's the best language for AI agents.
Bruin, an open-source ETL CLI tool, was built in Go despite Python's dominance in the data ecosystem due to Go's concurrency, performance, and cross-platform support.
Go's simplicity, strong typing, and compilation speed make it ideal for AI-generated code, ensuring correctness and readability.
Go's standardized tooling (e.g., gofmt) and idiomatic practices reduce variability, making it easier for AI agents to produce consistent code.
Cross-platform support in Go allows seamless testing and deployment across different operating systems, benefiting AI agent workflows.
The author believes Go's usability, performance, and ubiquity position it as a strong candidate for AI-driven development, though future languages may emerge.
