> The Prague-based startup, whose programming language last year became Google’s preferred development tool for Android, is worth about $7 billion, Am I the only one bothered by articles describing companies like Jetbrains as a startup? The definition that Google gives from Oxford Languages is: "a newly established business." Investopedia says "The term startup refers to a company in the first stages of operations." This is a well-established company (founded 20 years ago, according to Wikipedia!) that has grown organically for years by offering products their users love (I'm a GoLand user myself!). Why use the "startup" term where it really doesn't belong?
