> Google kills more babies than Jenny McCarthy. Are you willing to bet that they won't kill your favorite programming language

I'm really having a hard time forcing myself to continue reading the article after this sentence.

Do you really think that Google is going to kill Go because they have a track-record of killing unprofitable products?

I think that Go got so much traction, that somebody would just fork it as Walk if Google ever stopped caring about it.
