> This trope is getting old. Variations include "Go is only popular because Google spends millions marketing it!". I chose Angular.js because of google actually. And then Google did me dirty with Angular 2. Corporate sponsorship is actually a huge driving for my decision and many company too. Having a big company is a good indicator of success and it says that that programming language will have a stable contributors. Google also are using Go so they also have a stable programmers within the ecosystem. Getting developers to adopt a tech and be in it is hard. Google have bunch of their dev in it and which increase the chances of these dev will present and talk in meetup to evangelicalize others.
