You misunderstand me, please re-read what I wrote. Nowhere did I call for the forking of Go. On the contrary, I specifically wrote that it was unrealistic to even envision it, since it would not work as long as Google sponsored more into its development that I could do with the fork, and as long as Google was perceived as a more stable future sponsor of said development.

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.

Normally I don't reply in this kind of situations but I make an exception: 1 I think You misunderstand Go. 2 You complain about something you admit you don't know well. 3 You want the development to be more the way you want it without making any effort. My feeling is: Your internal feelings towards Go development are not relevant for many.
