## What it is
The Uber Go Style Guide, documenting patterns and conventions used in Go code at Uber. It is a widely referenced resource with many community translations.

## Use cases
- learn Go best practices
- standardize Go code style across a team
- set up Go code review guidelines
- understand idiomatic Go patterns
- reference for writing clean Go code

## When to choose
- you write or review Go code and want battle-tested conventions
- you are establishing a Go style guide for your organization

## When to avoid
- you need an automated linter rather than a written guide
- you work in a language other than Go

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: stable
- function: documentation
- domain: programming-languages, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: go
