This is typical Google/DeepMind ignorance. The rest of the world is non-exist.

I believe it started with Golang, where Go was already an existing language by a hobbyist - granted nobody was using it kinda lame to steal his name.

While I agree with the other two, I remember when Golang came out and no one except the author of the other Go language had ever heard of it.

Go was taken by ancient China before that.

First Flume and now this.

Flume is a map reduce framework at google and it is also the same name as a product by apache.

Ignorance, or arrogance? I find it hard to believe that devs at the caliber Google employs are ignorant of existing software, especially when it's in the same (or related) domain.
