Given that this language predates the founding of Google by almost a decade I think we can forgive them for not thinking about how "googlable" the name is.

Yeah. Google, on the other hand, has absolutely no excuse at all for using such an ungooglable mess of a name as "Go". It is embarrassing.

When people have to call it "Golang" just to differentiate it from the verb, then you know something is wrong.
