"Go" was such a poor language name choice, it pretty much goes by "Golang" to make it easier to search, etc.

I'm not sure Nim, Crystal, Rust, D (or C, C++) are that much better for searchability.

They really are. "Go" as a word is in way heavier usage than any of those.

Funny that you bring that up:

Golang is the accepted label used for titles and other communications for disambiguations. Note the domain name that hosts the project.

Golang Golang Golang Golang

...and nothing bad happens.

Maybe Bob should have thought of a better name instead of trying to become the least successful prescriptionist since that guy insisting it’s “thou”, not “you”.

One wonders if the language had been invented at Apple, might the Rob have tried to name it 'Ap'.
