IIRC, doesn't TIOBE have a problem with indexing Go because they only search for "Google Go" (or something restrictive like that)?

According to a post from a few years ago, they were using "Go programming", "Google Go", and "golang"[1].

You'd have a similar problem with Rust, Ruby, Python, Java, Ada, Julia, and probably tons of other languages. It must also be really difficult to differentiate between C, C#, and C++, considering most search algorithms will ignore the # and + characters.
