The 4 commits before 2008 are pretty clearly not development on Go in any sense, they appear to be Brian Kernighan playing with the syntax and styling for a C "hello world" program: https://github.com/golang/go/commits/master?page=810 https://github.com/golang/go/commits/master?page=810
No one would say those commits show he was working on Go as a "personal project" during that time.
