Agreed. In concrete terms, Mozilla is a non-profit, whereas Google is
not. Google can easily drop (or reduce) support for Go if it doesn't
serve whatever business goal they want. Or alternatively they might not
be interested in evolving Go (or Go's toolchain) in directions that are
useful for other people, but have little value for their business or
technical goals.
Well, Mozilla's really a for-profit owned by a non-profit, which is a
little weird.
In any case, Mozilla's demonstrated enough times in their history that
they're not particularly worried about alienating and ignoring big
groups of users. (Heck, they don't even try to promote their products as
customizable anymore.) Of course, whether this will actually translate
into similar issues with Rust remains to be seen. Hopefully they'll be
more reasonable with Rust.
