Go is not "controlled by a large corp". Sure, its development is led by a small core team employed by Google, but there are hundreds of contributors from outside Google and more non-Google committers than Google committers. Go has a BSD-style license (http://golang.org/LICENSE http://golang.org/LICENSE) and includes a patent grant (http://golang.org/PATENTS http://golang.org/PATENTS) meaning that it is truly owned by the community. This is very different to C# (which is more or less entirely a commercial venture) and Java (of which Oracle aggressively defends its ownership).
