How would communities around anything come to exist if everyone had the same attitude?
They were, from the beginning, open with development, releasing early and often, and were explicit about readily accepting large contributions from outsiders (and really did so). The creators were always open to the possibility that they themselves might not be the eternal keepers of the language, which allowed competition when others developed the language further.
Contrast this with the development of the languages I mentioned. They have done the opposite of these things.
What I wrote was that I, personally, would not use Go as long as its development was perceived to be controlled and paid by Google. Forking Go would not ameliorate this in any way, unless it was successful, which would be extremely unlikely.
I mean, can anyone claim that an internal developer at, say, Microsoft or Apple could develop programs in Go and have them become used for large parts of the internal company infrastructure without it becoming politically sensitive, just as if they had chosen, say, C? Until that happens, Go is not an obviously-neutral platform, and I therefore have no desire to use it.
Since you freely admit your ignorance, can you please stop making uninformed statements that spread FUD about Go? Those of us in the Go community that invest our lives in this project don't appreciate your senseless negativity.
