That was meant to be parsed out as "open source communities".

When it's in their own self-interest I'm not sure whether they're being friendly or not. Can't really tell.

Also go feels a bit tightly controlled to me and like it's not carrying on the traditions of open source scripting languages (same with Swift). Fortunately, Rust and Elixir are shaping up to be good continuations of the culture of Perl/Python/Ruby/etc.

Does it have to be mutually exclusive. Sure, Google is hoping you're going to go GKE for your Kubernetes/Container needs. But you're completely free to use another cloud, or roll your own.

For all cloud native backend stuff I really love Go (and Rust for that matter).
