You can't literally kill a FOSS project like you can with proprietary, but it can go away if nobody else wants to maintain it.
FOSS projects die all the time. You might want to write a patch here and there, but do you want to do all the DevOps, pay for hosting, manage testing, etc?
Maintaining a project kinda sucks.
Sure, but there are enough huge companies using Go (including organisations like banks for whom a couple of developer salaries are small change) that I’m sure someone would step up to maintain it.
