Google's Go? Go itself predates Google, as it's founded upon plan9 C's compiler/linkers and then Alef/Limbo.
Not to mention the Chinese board game weiqi (known in English as Go from the Japanese).

Go's success is there only because of Google, not for any technical merit. Without Google, Go would be a forgotten niche language.
I would suggest you take a look at https://go.dev/solutions/case-studies Whether or not Google’s backing is part of the equation, Go’s success in the real world speaks for itself.
