On: Guido says goodbye to Google

No, they are not. Go is very peripheral to what they do. Few internal Google projects use it compared to the other Google languages.

Google uses mostly C++, Java and Python for most of the stuff they do.

Go is just a side project made by some Google people, not an office Google marketed platform like Dart or V8.

Even the App Engine support is made by the Go team, not the App Engine Team, as I got to know in a Google IO talk.
