I disagree on one point that has nothing to do with Go. Python has not benefitted from GvR stepping down. The new "leadership" is non-technical, tyrannical and has driven almost all true open source contributors away.
Development has stalled except for the few corporate contributions of doubtful quality. The atmosphere is repressive and all that matters is whether you have a position of power at Microsoft/Instagram/Bloomberg.
It is not necessarily the fault of these companies. They may not know that their generosity is being abused.
