That doesn't really make sense, though. Go is entirely open source. If Google dropped it tomorrow there are more than enough non-Google people invested in it to continue development.

Maybe, but how many of them are compiler engineers? Go does not strike me as a language, that a compiler engineer would love.

Eh, if google cancelled go, there's a good chance a bunch of go compiler engineers would move to other companies using go...

It would continue development, but how popular would it remain without Google blessing?
