Man, how long will this meme survive? Go only initially originated with some Google developers, it's not in any way "Google's answer to Apple's and Microsoft's strategically-important and accordingly-subsidized-and-evangelized-and-invested-in languages". Just picture a handful of (previously "accomplished" in the field, as it turns out though) guys thinking "this company has a wide mess of Python etc scripts that should really be C programs, except for the problems this would pose"..
- pjmlp 10y agoThose developers are being paid by Google and their actions within this context relate to the public image of their employer. If Google wouldn't agree with their actions, or did not pay to increase the team size, they would be developing the language outside Google walls.
- geodel 10y agoYou may disagree but Google relationship with Go looks lot more distant as compared to C#-MS, Java-Oracle, Swift-Apple. Here Dart-Google looks more appropriate. Those Dart people always keep telling us about Adword's usage of it. Google organizes Dart's conferences whereas for GopherCon doesn't even have Google as sponsor. Go looks far more independent from Google in branding, sponsorship and references from official Google products.
