Corporations have become better at promoting technologies to developers, including worse technology. Languages are seen as strategic advantages against the competition ("A language that only work on our devices!"). So I would bet corporate money find its way towards tech blogs and user groups, to bring the kool-aid to the masses.
Also keep in mind that big corporations like Google are dominant entities and anything they do is closely watched by peons. For the success of BigCorpLang they need their toy projects anyway.
- finid 12y agoGoogle and Microsoft are better at doing stuff like that than others. I wonder why Apple has taken that approach with regards to Swift
- RussianCow 12y agoIf by "that approach" you mean not developing it in the public, that's always been Apple's strategy. They benefit from developers being locked in to building for their platform.
