All acquisitions. Golang is not a product.
- skeeterbug 3y agoIt is funny how the goalposts moved. > The last product google ever built and launched successfully. Now becomes "it doesn't count if it was an acquisition". Youtube would probably be dead if any other company purchased it. Google ate losses for years with it. Golang is a developer product. Chrome was not an acquisition. Maybe you are splitting hairs and saying it is an "acquisition" if they forked an open source project.
- ilrwbwrkhv 3y agoYouTube would have been fine. Golang is a programming language. Chrome is WebKit. It's not splitting hairs. The point I'm making is that google doesn't have the capability to take a product from the idea stage to the build stage to the launch stage.
