The document discusses why the Golang programming language was chosen for the Minio project. It highlights Golang's minimalist design, ease of use, and robust tooling and error handling capabilities as reasons for its selection. The document also notes that Golang allows for building embedded web front-ends when combined with React and may be better suited than Node.js for HTTP and JavaScript applications.
