Kind of.
It's made by the same guys who made the C language when they worked at Bells Lab (which also made Unix), and now they work at Goolag.
Though seems like Goolag is having a hands off approach on Go, and lets the community develop it under strict supervision of the guys who made C and Go.
But since they're Goolag employees, Goolag loves to brag about Go as if it was one of their own products.
