Doesn't Go belong to google?

Also, why do you want to learn programming? (It is nice and fun to code, but the choice of a language may depend on your aim too)

    It doesn't "belong" to Google, but they are a major contributor.

    I know why I want to program, and Go has everything I need to do that, and I also just quite like the language anyway.

    Don't get me wrong but pay attention to the android os stuff and ask yourself if it is applicable. Idk. I just wish you the best.

    Yeah, I know, I don't trust Google as much as the next person; but I just don't think they can really do what they're doing with the AOSP to Go, I mean, Go is fully open-source, and doesn't depend on Google for anything really.

    If Google did try to pull something with Go, the language would just be forked. But I frankly don't see what Google would get out of restricting Go. For a mobile operating system, it makes very good business sense, they can direct more users to their own app store to show them ads and get more revenue, but a programming language is a tool, not a commercial product (at least nowadways).
