I always list it as Go/Golang on resume. Don't want people thinking I'm good at that board game

When people write phrases like "Proficient in C, C++, Go and Malbolge" on their resume it's always a pain to figure out if they mean the programming language or the board game.

I once interviewed someone who was "proficient in dart, go and nim", but I was puzzled when they said they never wrote a computer program in their life.

TIL that "nim" is a game as well as a programming language.

We once had an interviewer poke a candidate about PostScript basics, and it quickly emerged that he had put his uses of “print to file” on his résumé and had no idea it was a Forth-like language.

From what I've heard about its difficulty, I'd be far more impressed if you were proficient at Go.
