Google's track record is hardly impeccable in this regard.
- leetrout 12y agoPython 3 support for protocol buffers comes to mind... It may be there now, I've not looked recently, but I know it has languished.
- IgorPartola 12y agoTrue. I'd rather see Red Hat or some such backing it. However, Google is better than a random dev working on a project a few hours a month, then losing interest. Having Google as the backer will give Angular a boost that will get it to be popular. Then, if Google ever walks away from it, someone with enough money will depend on it so much that they'd have to pick up where Google left off.
