Sounds like the exact attitude of Go developers, and the fact that they didn't think about searchability of their name says a lot about them (not like they work at a web search company and could have gotten that advice for free)

... as opposed to Rust, Ruby, Python, C, D, Java, Elixir, Crystal ? Only popular ones that doesnt collide with words are PHP and JavaScript (because it is amalgamation of 2 words). But you won't complain about those now, will you ?

About only semi-known ones that's not terrible to search is Haskell, and I guess Perl. And "letter with funny symbols after after" like C++/C#/F#

How many of those were created before search engines?

It's not about colliding with words, it's that "Go" is a common word even other languages context

But I'll give you a worse example than Go: R
