What they should be saying is, "No, what Google is doing is Wrong with a capital WRONG and we're not going to accept their wishes in closing off what's left of the open Web."

But then they'd have to give up all their Google funding. And they're way too cowardly and corporate to do that.

Seems a little over the top to me!

Also, Mozilla is very good at standing up to Google. They beat them on webasm, rust is arguably supplanting go, and most of all, it was Mozilla that effectively killed web components which were very dear to Google.

Two very different languages with very different goals. Neither want nor ever will suplant the other.

Rust is challenging C++ fairly head-on.

Golang is challenging Java, C#, Python, nodejs etc. It was also supposed to challenge C++ but based on how the language turned out, if that is ever true then C++ probably wasn't the right language for that project in the first place...
