+# Welcome to the RESTful Api Greenlight
+
+Get ready to read the word Go a lot!
+
+## Introduction
+Go is a new programming language built by Rob Pike, Robert Griesemer and Ken Thompson. It's a statically typed language with a gargabe collector and a kickass native concurrent-style programming model.
+
+Go is mainly about three things:
+* **Go is about composition**. It is *kind* of objected oriented just not in the usual way. There are no classes(but methods can be defined on any type), no subtype inheritance and interfaces are satisfied implicitly(we have structural typing). This results in simple pieces connected by small interfaces.
+* **Go is about concurrency**. Go provides [CSP-like](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicating_sequential_processes) concurrency primitives, it has lightweight threads called goroutines and typed thread-safe communication and synchronization with channels. This results in comprehensible concurrent code.
+* **Go is about gophers!!**

+
+In fact, we even have our own website where we can [create our own Gophers](http://gopherize.me/). Thanks to Mat Ryer and Ashley McNamara for making this.
