Can we not with this tired joke. Yes we're talking about the company with hundreds of chat apps, but we're also talking about the 100,000+ employee company that developed and support Golang, Dart and Flutter. But ignoring all this, the GitHub page is pretty clear: "Carbon is currently an experimental project." You shouldn't have confidence that it will be supported but they are pretty clear about it, they're trying to find the right fit.

It is a reputation that Google has earned through its actions and inactions. As shown by https://killedbygoogle.com/ https://killedbygoogle.com/ and numerous desperate posts for help [1][2][3] on this and other web sites, Google's "must launch a new shiny thing" promotion culture and abysmal customer service have eroded public trust in the long-term viability of anything that Google creates.

- TJSomething 4y agoThe only comparable thing to an open source programming language on that list is AngularJS, and I wouldn't say that was killed but superceded by Angular 2 (which is also a lot better).
