Google created go? or many people who worked at google and other companies? I'd be interested to know if google primarily implemented go. They did create chromium though

  Yes. It's a Google project. There are a lot of contributors outside of Google, but it was invented at Google, and governance is by a Google team, and the top contributors are Google employees.

    Do you have proof that all the top contributors work at google?
