What language does Docker use?

The question is about Docker

Answer:

Docker primarily uses Go (Golang). Performance, simplicity, and efficient concurrency management make Go the perfect choice to develop robust containerization tools. The Docker back-end-from core engine to APIs-was built in Go for the efficient creation, management, and orchestration of containers.
Dockerfiles, which are responsible for describing how to build Docker images, are written in an easy and declarative syntax. Go powers Docker’s internals, developers use Dockerfiles and languages like Python, Java, or Node.js running inside containers to execute their applications.
