So TypeScript is Microsoft, and React is Facebook, but all the rest of those are Google. Shouldn't we be a bit concerned about that?

Like, it seems like it should be fine, given that TensorFlow is part of their core AI mission, and they're heavily invested in Go, and Android probably isn't going anywhere. But people once thought that Java and MySQL were safe in the hands of Sun, too.



I could add in Pytorch, VSCode, and Swift too. But yeah it's reasonable to worry a bit. It's great that competitors to Java and MySQL arose, and pretty much everything listed except Android (kind of a weird case) has a strong open source competitor.
