An entirely valid concern, but languages and their ecosystems can get big enough that a or the major supporter can drop out without killing or necessarily even significantly harming them in the medium term. I currently guess that Go is there, while Rust is not quite yet vis-à-vis Mozilla. Microsoft's focus on developers from its founding gives us a great deal of confidence about a respectable level of support for C#/.Net, although their movement from closed source is too new to depend on quite yet. Whereas Oracle's acquisition of "Java" has prompted a lot of people including myself to step smartly back from its ecosystem due to the demonstrated risks of that malevolent company.
