📦 version 601.4.41, in ubuntu questing

💖 GOLF(2gg) — the manual page, but make it a group chat 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to talk about Golf and I am so normal about it. this is GOLF(2gg) from the Development section of your manual, and yes it's technically filed under NAME index - Golf documentation () which is giving "my name is in the group chat as 'unknown contact'" energy but we move 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

index — Golf documentation ()

like. that's the name. that's it. iconic of the docs team honestly 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so Golf is a programming language and an application server for building web services and back-end solutions on Linux. Golf is easy to develop with, memory-safe and high-performance. like, all three?? at once?? we love a triple threat 👑
