Create a basic HTTP server in Go using the net/http package to handle requests and serve responses.

Use the net/http package to define a handler function and start the server with http.ListenAndServe.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello, World!")
	})
	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}
