If you're still using Google Code for any projects I'd really recommend moving it to another service at this point unless you have a compelling reason to stay. There's some good evidence at this point that's leading me to believe Google Code is next on the chopping block for dead Google services.

Although Google has earned a bad reputation by shutting down some of their services, I think this recommendation is simply FUD.

1. v8 is just a Google project. Their decisions doesn't represent the company as a whole.

2. They just changed the VCS.

3. When Google is going to shut down a service, they warn you several months in advance.

Honestly, whether Google will shut down Google Code or not should not be a concern until they announce it officially...

Sorry, but I really like Google Code source browser with its awesome features like searching for definitions, instantiations, calls, declarations etc.

GitHub is very poor on that matter.

He wasn't saying google code was bad, just that it's likely the next service to be cut by our friends over at Google. Given that v8's moving, this is pretty reasonable prediction.

That won't matter if Google Code disappears, none of those features will work then. That's what he is warning against.

They're not moving to github though, just switching VCS.

Google code also makes it really hard to subscribe to projects mailing lists with a non-gmail e-mail. It is possible, you just have to know how to construct the subscribe message or get the maintainer to invite you.

And then all the google project hosted golang (library) projects go away and it'll break go get/install \o/
