Before I became a GO nut, I did 20 years of commercial Java. I became a big 
fan of Google's Guava library.
Guava was open source, but was driven by Google's needs. Outside 
contributions were rare. I got used to it.

I wonder if being "community driven" is really a good thing. GO was 
invented by a tiny team with strict ideas. This is in strong contrast to 
Java or C++, which are bloated and overly complex languages.

There are times I'd rather not have something, say generics, rather than 
pollute the simplicity of the tool to add features that the community 
wants. IMHO, YMMV, etc.
