Summary
The article presents a case for why Go (Golang) is the best programming language for AI agents, based on the author's 8 years of professional experience with Go and over 10 years working with multiple languages including PHP, JavaScript, and Python. The author argues that Go's strengths in concurrency, performance, simplicity, and tooling make it particularly well-suited for AI agent development compared to Python, which has traditionally dominated the data and AI ecosystem. The article draws from the author's experience building Bruin, an open-source ETL tool written in Go, and discusses practical considerations for AI agent development including deployment, maintenance, and performance requirements.
