This is not a reasonable assessment.

Golang is massive; why would anyone switch to not-Golang which isn't backed by a large organisation and just has one string comparison optimisation?

And why would anyone trust a forking entity that forked a runtime to make a change that could be packaged as a library, as the comment you're replying to already suggests?
