I'm a bit sick and tired of Google being everywhere and in everything so I'd rather invest my free time in learning a language created by highly motivated individuals than learn Go.
I don't have hope about language not backed/ created by large companies.
This does not align very well with history. PHP started as Rasmus Lerdorf toy, That didn't prevent it to grow and support some of the biggest platforms on the web. Python was also a one-man band for a while before it gained traction.
Sorry I know I sound pretty negative, it's frustration about people pushing for languages that are clearly not ready and for some of them will never be.
You've got to realise that to a lot of people these languages are already ready. Nim coming closer to 1.0 is certainly evidence that it will soon be ready for a vast majority of users.

The future in uncertain.
This world does not need more corporate-owned, corporate-driven "open" source.
PHP got traction after Zend was created ( private company ) and Python has the PSF. None of Crystal / Nim have such a structure.
I'm curious where your negativity is coming from, all of the comments you've written on this thread so far are negative.

That's right. Not yet.
