Seems like you're splitting semantic hairs.

The language maintainers regularly and consistently use "golang" as a disambiguation:

* golang.org

* github.com/golang

* Twitter @golang and #golang

* golang-nuts

In this context, it seems pretty "official" and the rebuke "factually incorrect" or at least the rebuke applies equally to the maintainers.

That said, it was a single wayward comment and it is (in my experience) out of character. I want to acknowledge that it was rude and validate the person who was wrongly rebuked; I explicitly don't want to pick on anyone nor tempt the Internet to pile on.

Rob Pike corrects an audience question when the guy uses golang instead of Go.
