At this point, why is anyone relying on Google APIs (or even GCP!) for serious work? It feels like Google is contempt with Search, Ads and Android.

- tclancy 6y agoNow that is a Freudian slip!
- sergiotapia 6y agoIs that a Freudian slip, DALE?!
- Axsuul 6y agoGoogle Poly looks like a fun experiment that unfortunately didn't pan out to their expectations. Google APIs/GCP have paying users that businesses depend on. It wouldn't be fair to have them in the same room.

- supermatt 6y agoIt’s one of the main features of the $20 tiltbrush app. People ARE paying for it.
- chaostheory 6y agoI was about to ask if TiltBrush relied on this. Thanks for confirming. It's hard to buy anything made by Google that hasn't been around for close to a decade, unless you don't care whether or not that product stays around.
- throwaway129013 6y agoWhat's really scary is that people rely on golang ignoring that it is entirely corporate-driven. (Go ahead and downvote me a ton)
- skyzyx 6y agoEvery language in widespread use today is either corporate driven or corporate sponsored. PHP, Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Go, Java, Swift, Obj-C, Rust… Welcome to capitalism, friend.
- packetlost 6y agoI mean, it's a language and open source. If the community really hates the direction Google takes it, they can fork it and support whatever features they want.
- input_sh 6y agoI mean, that's what you get when the internal metrics are skewed towards shipping new products, paying no attention to maintaining or improving existing ones.
- dehrmann 6y ago> or even GCP At least you're paying for GCP.
- fakedang 6y agoAnd they aren't making a profit on it. I think it will last a bit longer though - shutting down GCP would mean admitting a huge defeat.
