Rewrite a Python service in Go by defining structs, implementing methods, and using goroutines for concurrency.

Rewriting a Python service in Go requires translating logic, types, and concurrency patterns while leveraging Go's static typing and goroutines. Start by defining your data structures using Go structs, then implement business logic as methods, and finally replace Python threads with goroutines and channels for concurrency.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
)

type Service struct {
	Name string
}

func (s *Service) Handle(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello from %s", s.Name)
}

func main() {
	svc := &Service{Name: "GoService"}
	http.HandleFunc("/", svc.Handle)
	fmt.Println("Server starting on :8080")
	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}
