Sorry, but I just can't trust them. I am absolutely sure that Google will shut it down in X years.

  I don't understand the reasoning here, or you would benefit from dependent types. I am /also/ absolutely sure that /everything/ will shut down in X(company) years.

    GitHub will not shutdown in X years. That's their main business. While Google has the tendency to shutdown products after their beta phase. From Google POV that's a side project to their ad biz.

      Main businesses do fail (witness poor, beleaguered SourceForge). Meanwhile, Google's cloud ecosystem is a revenue-generator for the company; that does decrease the odds that it'll have the plug pulled. I wonder how many people shy away from AWS on the thought that web services aren't Amazon's core business model.

        I agree, but some companies such as Twitter and Google have a track record. Time will tell.
