This paper discusses the feasibility and effectiveness of some machine learning algorithms in the Go programming language. The paper presents speed comparison for solving linear algebra problems in Go, C++, Python languages, implemented using well-known and popular libraries: Gonum, Armadillo, Numpy. Also, speed and results comparison for machine learning algorithms, such as linear regression, PCA, DBSCAN, k-means, logistic regression, was made in Go, C++, Python. All mentioned previously algorithms were implemented in Go. For C++ and Python ready-made libraries mlpack and sklearn, respectively, were used. Finally, the conclusion about the expediency of the development of machine learning algorithm packages in the Go programming language is given.
