+## What it is
+
+Go is a programming language created at Google. It compiles quickly to a single binary with no dependencies, has concurrency built into the language, and comes with its own tools for building, testing, formatting and managing modules. Docker, Kubernetes, Hugo and many command-line tools are written in it.
+
+## Why it's here
+
+- **Small and readable.** A short language specification and one standard formatting style.
+- **One binary.** Programs build into a single file you can copy anywhere.
+- **Everything in one command.** `go build`, `go test`, `go fmt` and `go get` come with it.
+
+## On CoreDesktop
+
+Go is installed from pacman. Downloaded modules go in `~/go/pkg/mod`. CoreDesktop's backups leave that folder out, since it can be downloaded again, and the AI agents in the [AI sandbox](/ai-sandbox/) can write to it and reach the Go module proxy. `update` keeps Go current with the rest of the pacman packages.
