Key differences between Golang and PHP
Characteristic | Golang | PHP |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Golang has a C-like syntax that is easy to read and write. It uses curly braces and semicolons to separate statements. | PHP has a syntax that is similar to C, Java, and Perl. It uses semicolons to separate statements and curly braces to define blocks of code. |
