Hello World

1. create a file called hello.go
2. add the code from below
3. run the code with go run hello.go

// hello.go
package main

func main() {
    println("Hello, World!")
}

This may be the most simple golang program. You could also compile the program to an executable binary.

To do that you would run go build hello.go -o hello (note: on windows you would add the .exe extension)
