Three things I've considered: 1) when a company runs a project without much publicly documented process but does as they choose, isn't that a sign of a company run project? 2) The go team at Google has had processes that are not public. One example is the proposal review process. There has long been a group at Google that decides these. For a long time this wasn't documented publicly but happened. The public documentation on it came after the decision on go modules. 3) how has no one outside of Google qualified for the core team and why aren't more companies who are heavy users in on owning it? I've heard stories (not mine to share) of more outside engagement not happening for Go. I'm not nocking on Google for doing what they do. It's a business decision. I get it and I can understand a climate where it might change. I'm just trying to be aware of what's happening. I do sometimes wonder what the small decision making core team would look like with people from multiple companies with differing concerns on it. But, that's just wondering. I use Go. Gonna start something new in go soon, too. -- Matt Farina mattfarina.com Go in Practice <http://goinpracticebook.com/> - A book of Recipes for the Go programming language.
