At a previous job we decided against Go because it's made by Google, and Google has a habit of killing products.

This is exactly what I was thinking about. Back then there wasn’t an anti google sentiment (or if so, it wasn’t strong) But now this sentiment would hinder a new language. Thankfully go has launched well enough that I think it can live on and shed itself of any potential negative associations some people might have.
