Every company wants to have control over its own programming language. Even more since Oracle sued Google over Java.
Microsoft -> C#
Google -> Go, Dart
Apple -> Objective C
Oracle -> Java
VMWare -> Groovy
Red Hat -> Ceylon
JetBrains -> Kotlin
Mozilla -> Rust
Facebook and Amazon should invent their own languages as well.
- borispavlovic 15y agoNeither Facebook nor Amazon are developer's companies. They will do very well with whatever technology they used. Amazon will run any program written in any language on their elastic cloud. Facebook's apps can be written in any language, too.
- bad_user 15y agoOracle hasn't sued Google over the usage of Java the language. And going with Kotlin or Groovy won't protect you from Oracle.
- dchest 15y agoAT&T -> C. Xerox -> Smalltalk... You arranged a bunch of companies and programming languages which were designed by those companies (or with their support) and said that the motivation for designing those languages was "control". The fact the some of these examples were indeed (at least partially) motivated by "control" doesn't prove that all other examples fall into the same category. Mozilla wants Rust to have control over their programming language? Step 1. Invent programming language. Step 2. Control it. Step 3. Profit!
